We needed the Cold War
We needed the Cold War, no really. As a spacefaring species, the threat of mutual annihilation and hellish nuclear oblivion was a much needed wake-up call. Nicely resolved without too much damage so far imo.

It was just good practice for China! (and the other modern dictatorships we must subdue).
Having the power to kill ourselves and not doing so is a test of man’s Anthropic nature
Agree. The Cold War produced new military alliances, including NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and led to nuclear proliferation and proxy wars between and within postcolonial states in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Without the threat of conflict, we wouldn’t have curbed our taste for weapons of mass destruction.
