Like, I'm very inclined to think it might happen soon.

But what is making me less inclined is the fact it didn't happen within the last ca. 70 years.

We haven't had a global pandemic in over 100 years and yet here we are.

Countries have nuclear weapons and the global community has to get it right every single day to avoid nuclear war.

I'm hoping it doesn't happen, but the lack of precedent doesn't mean nuclear war cannot happen. If we needed precedent for something to occur, we never would have a "first" of anything, and history is littered with firsts.

But here's hoping. Did I mention I'm great at parties?
