is humanity destined to die on Earth?

With the US beginning to militarize space continuing with the Star Wars legacy left by Ronald Reagan Russia is planning a new missile defense that will be able to shoot down ballistic missiles and hypersonic aircraft.

Although the Russian one (which should be ready by 2030) could be in theory used against attackers coming from space that aren't part of the US military the US plan to militarize space is pretty much to be able to bombard any part of the world using space and ground forces with nuclear weapons!

The point behind all of this?

The United States and Russia are pretty much the two biggest kids on the block, they will eventually fight, the sad thing is that these nations have put their main initiative into building better means to kill other people (Russia's defense brought through paranoia of history repeating itself against it again), this was best illustrated through the Cold War which could have sparked a fire at any second that could have killed off a hefty percent of humanity in a matter of hours and send society back the way, the end of the Cold War represented a chance for east and west to unite.

But that never did happen and now we're back to a new Cold War, sadly it's all both sides seem to know to do after the last generation, I've stated before that the universe is huge, yet we don't seem to want to explore it any further than we already have after being able to do amazing things like land in the moon, even the Soviets were sending probes to Venus in 1975, that was over 30 years ago!

Yet superstition and people of various beliefs, different ethnic backgrounds are unwilling to live with each other and fight to the death to decide how to shape this planet, has human nature doomed us all to eventually die on this planet and not use our true initiative to truly work wonders?

It certainly seems that way:



Those UFO's that occasionally buzz Earth (not the USAF test drones and stealth aircraft over the Nevada Desert) could be alien boy racers for all we know who really couldn't give two shits about us and our problems, or maybe they are simply waiting for us to blow each other away before taking what's left as a place for a pit stop.

Anyway the point I was making is gone now!
