Modern weapons are too powerful, too destructive, and too accurate for major nation-states to contemplate use against each other. Hot wars are proxy wars....but they are not really wars, now, are they?
Real war is aimed at taking territory, evicting or killing the occupants, changing the dominant culture and installing your citizens, dominating the economy, and staying.
Want an example? Mexico puts its crap citizens illegally over the border. They don't learn English but we give them jobs, and after a while shrug our shoulders and offer amnesty. Now they invite their cousins and the cycle repeats itself. At a certain percentage of the population, white people flee. The property is bought up at low prices. The politics is now dominated by those who only 25 years ago were the illegal invader...uh, sorry...I mean immigrant.
In case you don't get it, I'm talking about California.
Other places where this is happening: Britain. France. Italy.
You do realize this is why the USA's borders include everything west of the Appalachians?
