Yes, I would, but I don't see concrete reasons to believe that. Nuclear war may actually have been slightly more likely with HC.

Then we have no difference of principles & it comes down to evaluation of consequences of each situation.

Its not 'uphold the system regardless of consequences' but ' I don't think potential consequences warrant overthrowing the system'

I'm aware of my own tendency to prioritise principles over consequences - eg, uphold liberalism even if it will destroy liberalism

Republicans painted Obama as Hitler, he obviously wasn't. I think that to a degree democrats have done the same with Trump.
