global nuclear annihilation did more to prevent WW3 than a Convention that most militaries do their best to tiptoe around (or just ignore where they can)

Europe used to be at constant war with each other. Only France and the UK has some nukes. Now the EU is one of the most peaceful and prosperous places in the world. That is built on rules and trade.
that is incorrect. Europe has had armed conflict since the second world war. Maybe not well advertised, but they happened nonetheless. I share your perspective though, that rules and trade should be continued in order to be even better.
Note that I was careful to write the EU in the second part, considering that both the Balkans and Ukraine are in Europe.
