The increased availability of advanced arms
 
  a. clearly decreased the possibility of international conflict. Although popular
  wisdom implies otherwise, fewer wars are being fought now than at any other
  time in the twentieth century.
  b. is a product of the media. In actuality, advanced arms are not more available.
  c. has increased the lethality of modern warfare. In some cases, this has
  decreased the willingness of modern states to enter conflict, but on the whole,
  warfare remains at least as frequent as before.
  d. means that the status quo in international affairs is more likely to endure now than
  in previous times. This is an often-overlooked fact about the arms race.
