I see it now in the embrace of nationalism, geopolitics, and war as a tool by current leaders in the U.S. and elsewhere. The people who knew most about war, the survivors of WWII, build the international order, established the UN, and did other things explicitly to prevent war from ever happening again.

The fools of today think they know better. One thing that particularly concerned the leaders post-WWII was that the next war, after more technological advances, would cause unimaginable levels of devastation to humanity. Remember they had seen WWI exceed what anyone imagined, then WWII exceed WWI. Imagine a major war with all the technological advancement since 1945 devoted to killing and destruction.
