I don't think a high chance of Europe being even more fucked up by another full scale conventional war in the the 1950s or 1960s is worse than a lower but still significant probability of all out nuclear war between NATO and Warsaw pact between 1960 and 1990.

One would be another setback for modern civilization, the other might have ended human civilization completely.
