"The cold war was actually a relatively good time for the people of the world because power had been “stalemated”.

That line was so true. The US being a superpower has seen the works erode and then into a shit storm in so many ways. All the money gets spent on military interventions and invasions, and the rest of the world economy goes to shit.

The latest threat to this superpower is north Korea.
They're painted as the big bad enemy. But nobody tells the story of America killing 3 million north Koreans and destroying 75% of the city. It's no wonder they feel the need to arm themselves with nukes.
