The nuclear genie is out of the bottle and it can not be put back. It is just a matter of time until someone somewhere sets off a nuke. Each day the tech to build such a device gets that much easier. There will be a day coming when someone will build one in their basement out of common everyday things. That day will be a very bad day.

In a certain sense, you are right.
In a long enough timeline, a nuclear war will certainly occur.
Countries like the USA, China, Russia, India, France, will never give up their nuclear arsenals.
500 years from now, in the year 2512, all those countries will still have hundreds of nuclear weapons.
It's just a matter of time until someone does something stupid, and triggers a nuclear war. It may take 1000 years, 2000 years, 8000 years, but it will happen someday. Humans are a very stupid species.
