I also didn't mention nuclear warfare. There are going to be comments about how we can't have wars anymore due to mutually assured destruction. This is a possibility, but not one I agree with. Missile defence systems have gotten better, being capable of knocking half of the nuclear attacks out of the sky. Hypersonics may change this. However, nuclear arsenals have also shrunk enormous and nuclear payloads have also shrunk dramatically. I've heard the estimate that a nuclear war in 1980 would cause 1 billion deaths, and today 300 million. This is a manageable number when you look at China and India's populations. Also, it's in no one's self interest to have a nuclear war, with China having a treaty that it will never have a nuclear strike without the Chinese homeland nuked first. The US has a far greater nuclear advantage over China and so China would not start one since it would be so outclassed. It's sort of similar to chemical warfare in the 2nd World War, where all the powers involved had poison gas, but all knew that the other sides would just use it if they did.
