Far from being naive, I find it very realistic. And this is precisely why there has been no global conflilct in the last 60 years. Otherwise, don't you think superpowers would have started it back in the '60s, at the peak of the cold war? Especially with the imense amount of hatred they developed against one another? And yes, this is also what Einstein said: "I don't know what WW3 will be fought with, but WW4 will certainly be fought with sticks and stones." (not certain about the exact phrasing, but this was the general idea)
