The problem Linda is that there has been almost 80 years of peace in Europe, All of the damage of WWII has been covered up by new structures. The generations that live, have not dealt with war as far as their memory can recall. I was born before WWII, but the only thing I know about the war is what I first read in Time Life books, in libraries, and because of one poor neighbor the kids called shocky, because he had a metal plate in his head (bastard kids, I got shit for defending him)
The peace dividend has been conversion of munitions and armament factories to making stoves, toys, clothes and fertilizers.
Even in America we are depleting our stores of munitions and weapons. What we really need is an armaments program like FDR initiated in the 1930's. Russia has the same problem, but Putin has a better handle on it, because he is in charge of essentially a command economy.
