The country had a chance to have a nuclear war.

Hi.

One of my friends wrote,

'Korea had some chances to have a nuclear war.'

I have some feeling that the word 'chance(s)' is usually
followed by some fortunate and positive things.

For example,

"I was lucky because I had a chance to make a lot of money.'
"I finally got the chance to pop the question.'
"She didn't miss the chance to get the job.'

Now, is 'chance' also usable with negative things, like,
'a chance to have a nuclear war'?

Well, nobody likes war, especially 'a nuclear war'.
What she meant by, probably was,

There was some possibility that Korea gets involved in a nuclear war.

So, you don't say 'a chance to lose my job', 'a chance to get a cancer' or 'a chance to get tortured'. Don't you?

I would've made my own research using online dictionaries, but I had no idea how.

Would you please help me to tell if the sentence
she wrote is weird or not?

Thank you.
