Comment: Elements of religious doctrine/dogma/mumbo jumbo/superstition (depending on view point) appears to have crept into the narrative.

The official history of the creation of these weapons is known, but in my opinion there is also a higher power at play. It is as if the Lord God saw that a large part of humanity had gone mad, having started two world wars in a generation, and gave us these nuclear weapons, which are weapons of the apocalypse. He wanted them to be, to be in the front of our minds, at all times, and to scare us. [unquote]

Now everyone has seen that Russia is much weaker than expected.
It is the result of decades of corruption.
No democracy, no checks and balances leads to extreme corruption and corruption weakens everyithing, no efficiency.
Autocracy can produce some speed and efficiency in the beginning but on the long run everything breaks apart.
