 In view of the instability and unpredictability and undiluted malice
of the politicians of some countries that have nuclear weapons, and
the "guns before butter" policies of others, the film of "On the
Beach", and perhaps "Dr Strangelove, Or How I learned to Stop Worrying
and love the Bomb" could do with a remake.

Well, that might have an effect - though remakes are rarely a patch on the original, and Films With A Message are rarely appealing. The real problem, though, is a few bellicose leaders at the head of powerful rogue states, notably Putin and Trump, and I can't see them changing.
The Americans must have been a bunch of /wingnuts/ to elect Trump. I understand, though, that he did say, "I’m going to stop wars,"¹ so perhaps they believed him² and didn't expect him now to be giving it laldy in the Middle East.

²I know, I know; they knew him and should surely have known better.
