No, seriously, the reason the world is messed up now is that only some powers have monopoly on nuclear weapons. And every single one of the major powers is internationally in an aggressive, expansive mood.
We could have had a world without nuclear escalation.
But the last 4 years have shown that if as a country and nation you don’t have a nuclear umbrella, you don’t have recognised sovereignty and hence cannot do the single most important duty a state has - to protect the human rights of it’s citizens.
So I’m afraid the lot of the non-nuclear countries is either nuke up, or lick the boot.
