Because nukes
This^
If I'm not mistaken, World War 2 was the last war that had a major power fighting and taking land. At the end of the war, nukes were finished and not long after, everyone else got nukes. So now, going to war, means possible total destruction(or near total destruction) of all nations involved and nobody wants to risk that(yet). Nukes aren't the only weapons of mass destruction out there, and possibly not even the most frightening.
