> brought the world to the brink of annihilation

Should read *has brought*. As in the present perfect tense, since we are still on the brink of annihilation, more so than we have been at any time in the last 60 years.

The difference between then and now is that we just don't talk about it much anymore and seem to have tacitly accepted this state of affairs.
