Even before the Ukraine conflict, I often thought how at any moment there are nuclear bombs pointed at me by some other country and within few clicks away from being launched. I am just hoping there is no software bug or a mistake while they are performing tests, that would launch one.

I was born in the 80s in Germany, right next to, then, NSA listening post. Everyone knew it was there, so there were definitely more then one nuke pointed there at any given time. Hell, even NATO had plans to nuke any Warsaw Pact invaders in West Germany before they reached the Rhine. It was, well, just that. I realized I'm not that concerned about nuclear threat, after all it was part of my youth without anyone really thinking about it. No coping mechanism that can be copied so.
