We'd probably still have nuclear technology by now, and even if we wouldn't have, we'd at least develop it on the foreseeable future. He seems to be implying that we would never develop it if not for war. War just sped it up.
And even further, he seems to be implying that no alien species would develop it without war.
And he seems to be implying that it would be impossible for a violent species to develop nuclear energy for war, then at some point cease being violent.
It's a big fucking universe and almost certainly all of those possibilities and more have happened with different civilizations.
