The common ideological kernel of all of this behaviour is a deeply embedded trope in anglosphere societies: a contempt for materiality, or the idea that the material world that we eat, sleep, drink, fuck and die in is somehow beneath the notice or the care of sufficiently important people.

Nope. Nuclear armed countries’ policy that no more nuclear armed countries are allowed is something both expected and having very much material impact. If Iran gets their nukes - it’s likely that Saudis or Egypt would want their nukes too, or at least that Israel or India would like to expand their stockpile. In turn, Pakistan or China or both could expand their stockpile too in response to India. This all has material impacts for everyone, including Trump
