Although I agree with much of what you have written, the phrasing of
this does not sound right to me.

It implies that it would be a good thing if Joseph Robinette Biden
decided to stop being imbecilic, and unilaterally abolished the
nuclear capabilities of the United States of America.

When, of course, it is obvious that the result of doing so would be
to bring into existence a world utterly dominated by the cruel
tyrants Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.

The problem is their fault. The problem is that evil dictators have
their hands on nuclear weapons, which keeps the world in a dangerous
situation.

We are stuck in an unpleasant situation that is not of our making, and
we are trying to make the best we can of it; to survive and remain
free.
