For one, globalization completely dissolved the threat of nuclear war

That's simply untrue. Europe outsourced its natural gas needs to Russia in an attempt to strengthen ties (ostensibly to avoid nuclear war, among other things). Despite that, no one would be surprised if 2023 had at least one nuclear warhead detonated at some point.

>Europe outsourced

Europe also outsourced the security of the entire continent to the United States.
