Reminds me of this quote

You can't say that civilization don't advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way.

Will Rogers, New York Times, Dec. 23, 1929

However new military developments are inevitable. Everybody has to keep up to date.

This is related. More bad news.

How so? Having such powerful weapons makes war a much more dangerous endeavour, and as a result less likely to occur. It's because of weapons like these that WW3 hasn't occurred yet. The only problem is that not everybody can afford these weapons.

War is a big game. Poor and weak Muslim countries is the laboratory for doing experiments of new weapons, which results in killing of 'some' innocents people (no..no... terrorists..!) .

And interesting thing is that they have hijacked the contract of peace.
What an irony...!

Do you still need WWW3...?

Obviously the current situation is not good, but it's better than having world powers like China, the US and Russia completely blasting each other and their respective allies.

Weapons, tactics, and not even men win wars, it is Allah who bestows victory and they can plot and create the worst of weapons and the most clever of plans but Allah has more Qadr and he is the best of planners.

Wars aren't fought by military means alone.

War by Other Means: Geoeconomics and Statecraft by Robert Blackwill and Jennifer Harris explores the role of financial assets in modern geopolitics. The title of the book is also a play on the famous adage by Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz who once stated that war is the continuation of politics by other means. With this in mind, the book reveals geo-economics for what it is, an extension of geopolitics that seeks to maximize capacities through asymmetrical economic means.
