well you do know that sickness wiped a lot of them out. then again if they had medical technology against white sicknesses that wouldnt happen but thats besides the point.

Technology matters, which was why many Native Americans died during the exploration days, and it's why India was annihilated during the British Raj. Honestly, it's a pretty straightforward concept.
Of course technology matters, but since you can't bother to read the title of this topic I'll repeat it for you, technology + war = no point.
In simpler terms:
1+2=3
2 does not equal 3
1 does not equal 3

Uhh, I think you're mistaken, because advancements in technology help in wars, and if I remember correctly, winning wars is a good way to take over the world? Therefore, wars have points to them?

There you go again, seperating the ideas. What I am saying is that there is no point in technologically advancing wars because it doesn't help win wars faster and will eventually burn us to a crisp. Not that technology is bad for war, or that war in itself is pointless. Go take an algebra class or something.

It's a lot quicker flying over to Asia with a few planes and bombing them, rather than taking ships packed with militia suited with bronze axes. Therefore, it does speed up war, serving a purpose. I think you assume right when a new technology comes out, a counter for it automatically comes out, well guess what, a lot of nations won't have answers for newer technology.
@Her
Then the technology has already served it's purpose. You can't really have a war when you're the only nation, now can you?

Err hello? Where have you been these past 5 pages? Advancing war technology will not do us ANY good at all, want to rule the world? Well too bad, with modern weapons you will quickly be ruling a charred rock full of skeletons. The fact that a counter wont steadily come out is exactly my point, we don't have the armor to defend against a nuke which is why if we keep making more powerfull weapons we will all be done for!

I mean the entire land is a nuclear wasteland. Not no one else TO conquer.

Actually, with much more technology, we would come up with this super nuke that would blow up half of the world with one detonation. It wouldn't be war anymore, it would be complete slaughter. A hydrogen bomb, you should see what it can do... it's a hydrogen reaction that can deal up to 100x the damage of a nuke. Might as well blow up the moon with it.

Well then, maybe now that is true, but when people first discovered how to use metal weapons, that was a great advancement, at the same time, it wasn't earth-threatening. I see what you mean now. I meant technology did serve it's purpose.

But these big and bad weapons are sometimes good. They can actually stop wars. The U.S. might say something like, "If you attack (blank), we'll launch our nukes and invade your country". Sorry if it's been said already.

Or in the case of North Korea, "We will use this bomb to destroy America without any warning."

ICBM defense missiles.. they detect a nuke, they launch up into the air meeting the nuke have way causing it to blow-up in mid-air preventing it from hitting it's target.
And also hacking, change the nuke's direction mid-flight via hacking.

Also note that if a nuke detonates in the air not only will it release tons and thousands of radioactive waste over a LARGE widespread area (larger area then that of it hitting the ground), but will also will lead to many strains of cancer and massive death even worse then that of it hitting the ground. If the nuke is at a certain height in the atmosphere, it can actually blow a hole in the atmosphere and contribute massive amounts of heat and UV rays for a short amount of time, which could potentially melt ice caps leading to already moderate-to-severe global warming. Gg anti-nuke technology.

Yes it would fark everyone up, which is why no one in there right mind would launch one, because the person they are launching it at would shoot it down, and then the person who launched it would get totally farked

War isn't exactly pointless. Living creatures always fight in order to survive. Its how life works. Technology is just what humans created to bring their society up one level.
