The concept of victory in modern wars is indeed an illusion, unless it is looked at from the perspective of the mass murder and mayhem witnessed and the economic and political losses incurred by the nations.With nuclear arsenals piled up and with potential capabilities to obliterate countries at the click of a button, going for war would be an act of insanity ! In the world we live in, when economies and essentials too are interlinked, the word war carries little meaning except that it causes more misery to the innocent citizens, and the only victory if any, may be political that too, ephemeral and wanes down when the consequences such as the standards of living of the citizens and the strategic position of the nations in the world start unfolding !
War once initiated in a corner of the world, has little possibility of confining to the epicentre without transmitting intense tremors across the globe that can create catastrophic cleavages. Thus, waging a war should be the last resort ! I conclude with a brief quote that lets many think twice before succumbing to the whims and fancies of military aggression in an already chaotic world.
