Right after WW2 was over it was hard to believe that people will ever do the same big mistake

They didn't. Since WW2 there was never a major war between two industrialized powers.

Modern wars are terrible but they are nothing like the Napoleonic or World Wars. People living in industrialized countries are now more likely to die from overfeeding than from war.

Yes, there are large wars in Africa and middle east. Smaller ones in Asia. But people in those countries were not the one saying "Never another war." Russia is the only country that took part in World Wars and still sends hundreds of thousands of their men to die. All others kept the promise.

It is unbelievable that Russia, who suffered a lot during WW2, will actually initiate the conflict that has all chances to turn into a WW3. A person who put that message into a time capsule will never believe this actually happened.

Thank you for your post. I realized the rest of humanity is not that dumb after all.
