A lot of people disagree and believe the middle east is very much like pre WWI Balkans with great powers sleepwalking with a sense of long peace. Don't very me

A lot of people disagree and believe the middle east is very much like pre WWI Balkans with great powers sleepwalking with a sense of long peace. Don't very me wrong... this is a different time. But caution is merited because everything can burn up in the snap of a finger. Thats rhe lesson learned exactly 100 yrs ago. Cant take peace for granted

Cant take peace for granted Yes, but that's very different from implying that there's been an arms race that could set off a war between major superpowers. You're confusing the destabilization of a large region with a world war. To be clear: the former is very worrying, it's just very different from the latter.
