[X-Men: Apocalypse] Now that En Sabah Nur has destroyed the nuclear deterrent, how does world politics work?

Are countries more comfortable with going to war now that the deterrent is gone? Do the USA and USSR bother with another nuclear arms race?

Pretty much the same.  In 5 years, from 1955 to 1960, the US stockpile went from 2,422 to 18,638.  That's 16,216 weapons, so about 270 a month, or about 9 a day.  He didn't destroy all uranium and plutonium and kill everyone with knowledge of how to make bombs.  Unless the USSR is expecting to Blitzkrieg through Western Europe in a month, the nuclear deterrent will be back before they can do anything, and that's assuming that the fact that an American just blew up a god doesn't deter them all by herself.
