Point remains. Show me a period in human history where two divergent "superpowers" co-exised peacefully like two teenage girls at a Jusin Bieber concert. It doesn't happen. That's not human nature, it might be individually, but we are bunch of fucking idiots when you pair us up into large enough tribal groups. 

Even now we have at least 3 superpowers. USA, China and Russia. EU could be one to if it had a pair of balls. Even during cold war actual balance was more difficut then USSR vs USA, with a lot of alliances with its politics inside. (WW1 and 2 also was a war of alliances, not solid powers.)

We have 3, but one is clearly well above the other 2, which keeps a pecking order where all three know their place. It's not perfect by any means, but given the history of the last 100 years, it's a hell of a lot better than what was going on 50-60-70 years ago.
