What is more, the best features of the best German tank designs of the war, features which were emulated in all successful post war tanks, including sloped armor, wide tracks, huge suspension travel, high velocity gun, were all copied from the T-34.  More specifically German features of the best German tanks, such as overlapping interleaved road wheels and split transmission front engine rear drive train, all turn out to be dead ends in evolution of the tanks, and discarded as cumbersome or suboptimal in all post war designs.

Only in ergonomics, including 3 men turret and commander copula with all round vision, were Germans initially ahead, but t-34 fully closed these gap by 1944.

The layout of the t-34 in 1940 was already almost the same as full post WWII tank design.  By 1944 model year the t-34 was effectively indistinguishable from modern post WWII tank in feature, layout and design.

Not so with German designs.  Even the Last German wartime tank design still had some important obsolete basic design features that would never be repeated in post war tank designs.

So it is clear the t-34 was really a extremely balanced, well thought out and forward thinking design with great development potential.  The much heralded German big cats were nothing more than knee jerk reactions to the amazingly superior design from the communistic Slavic untermensch, and although these managed surpass some specs of the T-34 through brute strength - which Germany could ill afford to lavish on individual tanks given its inferior production potential - didn't come close to replicating its holistic forward thinking,

Exhausting diplomacy may in many cases be the clear locally optimal solution, but globally sub-optimal.

If our species always found solution in diplomacy we would likely not have ever progressed very far into the Bronze Age.    The need to be able to deal violent dispossession or death in order to not be killed or dispossessed violently was the strongest underlying motivation for so much of our race's social, scientific and technological progress.   Even much of proudest peaceful accomplishement still had at their very core the motivation to stay ahead so as not to be seen as being behind, which may lead to eventually being dispossessed or killed violently.

No sorry, that is the easy way out. Of course our species does not default to diplomacy. This really sounds nothing more than "might makes right". 

I'd only agree that evolution does not care if force or cooperation work. But that does not mean force and cruelty have to be the go to default. Nor does it mean war should be glorified.

"Kill or be killed" is an unfortunate part of evolution, but avoiding conflict and empathy work too, so the reality is what humans choose. 

Weapons exist because humans have conflicts, I accept that reality, but it is nothing to glorify.

Glorification of war has the benefit of promoting preparedness for war, and the drawback of promoting war as solution to problems not best solved by war.

Societies that does not glorify war at all tend to be less prepared for war and more likely to lose wars and go extinct.  The trick is to glorify war enough to Increase the chance of winning unavoidable or reasonable amount of judiciously chosen wars, but not glorify war so much that one rushes head long into unnecessary or unwinnable wars in response to the siren song of war.
