> The competitive, zero-sum conquests

Controlling country like Afghanistan is not zerosum game. It is a blackhole that burns money, resources and men! There was never great plan to conquer India (as British believed).

> leaders of the international order want to prevent nuclear proliferation

"Leaders" are happy if they find their way from podium.

Current situation is more similar to Cuban missile crisis, not some great chess game. Sadly we do not have anyone like Kennedy!
