On the surface, it’s banned. I’m not politically minded so I don’t know all the details, but there’s sanctions and consequences for war even if it does still happen.
Most conflict just goes underground and is hidden better. That’s what happens when you put bans on things — you just push it to places people can’t see.
There was a point in Japan's history were swords were banned as well - though I think that change stuck, but I know that just meant the era of guns began.
Guess conflict is just part of the human experience.
Where there's a will there's a way. Doesn't matter if that will is good or bad.
[ violence. ]
Laws are in place to prevent it, but it still happens. And if there's a law against something, it pushes it underground like I said. Makes it harder to track, and in some ways more dangerous.
