But WW1 and WW2 were good ideas? Why did people think WW2 would be smart after the devastation of WW1? It didn't stop people like Hitler. It seems... lucky that our wars get more and more violent up until they could kill literally everyone, and then we stop there.

WWI was a monumentally bad idea, essentially a war fought because of who had treaties with whom. 

WW2 wasn't meant to 'stop people like Hitler' - it was meant to stop Hitler. 

Succubus nailed it  - MAD was what kept the Cold War from getting hot.
