Maybe some alien civilization does know about us, but it slightly afraid since we spec’ed in the war tree instead of space travel.

They kept letting us advance our war machines until one day they needed us. To help stop a greater evil; since they went space exploration instead of guns

    Lots of scifi takes that route since we are very good at killing things. A well known version is the Asgard asking for help in Stargate SG-1 since they need more primitive tactics they’ve long ago forgotten.

    Either that or they’re just waiting to see if we destroy ourselves before they go to all the trouble of attacking us

    I think if there are actual aliens and they are actually showing us that they can interfere with our nuclear equities its a last ditch effort to prevent us from killing ourselves without directly interfering. If they were involved in some sort of war I doubt we’d really be any use to them. If they’re advanced enough to travel lightyears to our planet then our weaponry is as primitive as a cavemans club.

    Then again maybe its humans are space orcs thing lol

    It’s possible, but once we get involved in the war, we’ll have the means of travel AND the guns, and of course, our insatiable desire to conquer.

    They’re better off leaving us alone.

    On the minus side we are cannon fodder but on the plus side the blue alien girls are hot.
