if it wasnt a superpower like murica, russia or china asserting their sphere of influence, youd be back in the 17th centuries with lots of smaller powers doing the same thing.

The truth is that having a cold war between superpowers is often less deadly for the world overall than having multiple smaller nations defending their own interests.
