>...unpredictable dictators posing a nuclear threat
I'm sorry to say that it makes the most sense to simply not worry about it, unless it's your job to.
We tend to forget that dictatorship is the default human civilization. It also happens to be the "normal" structure of the family, even in liberal countries, for the simple reason that kids are, by definition, incompetent. So I'm not sure if it makes sense to "stamp out dictatorship" when so many people legitimately want to live under one. So that leaves getting rid of nukes - a problem most of us assumed would solve itself over time after the fall of the Soviet Union. This backsliding is worrisome, but the path to success remains the same. But when the next Soviet Union falls, we should pursue denuclearification much much more seriously.
