It could be 28 minutes from now or 280 years from now. It takes a russian ICBM to reach continental US targets less than 30 minutes to reach its targets.
You hear about the nukes that Iran or NorKor may use, but the real bulls in the glass shop are the nuclear arsenals of Russia and the US. Their arsenals can obliterate a million Hiroshimas, but there's less than 3,000 cities greater than 100,000. And the number of military installation is relatively small.
A mere 100 megatons will initiate global impact winter. Will we have a nuclear war in the near future? Probably not, but we've come mighty close on more than one occasion. The last close call was in 1995 when the Russian 'suitcase' holding the launch codes was activated for the first time in history because of a scientific launch by Norway that the Russians mistook for an attack on them. .....and that was POST-Cold War.
The aging Russian command and control systems and their aging early warning systems should be our greatest concern.....anyway that's all.

I say never. Our parents are the last generation that will die. We'll soon achieve physical immortality then a short time later will leave the flesh and move on to an eternal world with the help of our children, the machines.

At the end of a nightmare.
Seriously. If the world ends and us with it, all the sacrifices of our parents and ancestors were in vain.
