Nuclear weapons and making more nukes actually deters the use of nukes.

Especially given the rise of authoritarianism and xenophobia in those nations that have nuclear weapons. That's not a good combination.

You are correct. People have been saying the world is going to end for the past 200 years. It's getting old.

High tensions, nukes, killing the oceans, etc. etc. There are plenty of reasons it could happen within our lifetime. Things that are currently happening and aren't delusional at all. I would say it probably isn't, but it is most definitely not delusional to look at certain massive problems we're facing and be concerned. We literally have environmental scientists who have been warning us for decades. Completely ignoring all of this would be the delusional thing to do, imo.

A lot of governments have fallen over the years without "the end times" arriving. Something like widespread climate change or nuclear winter might be something else though. That said, if you don't have specifics, you're just like a crazy guy with a "The end is nigh" sign.

The end is nigh If you've played mass effect, you heard this in your brain.

I don't know if we're in the "end times" per se, but we do seem to be on track for a "bumpy road ahead." Especially Geopolitically. Domestic Politics (in the U.S. anyway) are particularly tense given the dimension around Trump as well

We're definitely heading in that direction though - anthropogenically.
