      No it isn’t

      Mutually assured destruction doesn’t go away because of conventional warfare. Nuclear powers have attacked each other directly and indirectly since the 70s and we haven’t had ww3 yet. The most recent example is US troops killing Russians in Yemen, or the US killing suleimani via drone strike. For previous conflicts, see India vs Pakistan and also China.

      The risk of global war is at an all time low because of globalization. Nobody can afford it anymore due to multinationals. We have escaped the Pax Americana and now we are in the Pax Corporata.
