Frankly speaking mankind has survived this far because we(nations) didn't have to fight hard over resources.
Now with climate change, depletion of oil which is the basis of the world economy(industry/wealth) and military plus the explosion of population we may in the not so distant future forced into war over resources even as simple as fresh water or basic food supply.
Intellectually mankind has been evolving to higher and higher level but this is not balanced with spiritual growth. So you've got a mix of an adult muscle with a 10 year old equivalent emotional and spiritual maturity. Somebody is bound to fck up somewhere sometime and fck up big and get the majority of the world population into some big problem. It's just a matter of time with a climate of desperation and uncontrolled greed and selfishness to accelerate its eventuality. Hitler did it, Japanese empire took their chances and there will be others. People will forget how bad war is.
Of course this is just my personal view.
