Not only do drones have crazy kill numbers from afar but the psychological terror they impose on those in their patrol area is unparalleled.
Old school war won't happen anymore unless the warring sides wipe out the technological edges either side may have. Even then you're going to have to take the war to orbit and wipe out satellites. A new world war is going to be gross.
Besides, why would our corporate overlords want to wipe out any percentage of the population, our debt based incomes keep them fat and rich and the more people they have under their thumbs the more profit they make. Now excuse me while i go fashion my new tin foil hat.

Tin foil hat not necessary. And it's not a conspiracy. It makes sense, and that's why I said before that I doubt conventional or nuclear war ever happens between nation-states.
Corporations and the extremely wealthy have too much to lose. They would influence governments as much as possible not to go to war if it meant destabilizing their wealth or income. They care more about money/profit than they do about what flag flies in the capital city.
Weimar Germany was a disaster, and folks weren't happy. War was almost inevitable.
Folks in developed countries are happy for the most part nowadays. Americans are still addicted to military spending, but what else is new?
