Since back then there's been way more nations discovered. So thinking that all the nations back then applies to all the nations today is nonsense, only believed in by blind fanatic prophecy believers, thinking that Jesus knew about all the nations known today.

But we know that Jesus wasn't omniscient. Not only did he not know the day and the hour, he also didn't know that the world was round, not the center of the universe, and included hundreds of nations, not known back then. He was wrong on all accounts.

But because of it, Christianity has dragged that prophecy along thru all the advances of knowledge, of the world and universe.

I guess some things about Christianity never change. It could be said that Christianity tries to stay back in those ancient days, fails, but hangs on anyway ... but still become a totally different Christianity from what it was in Jesus' day ... thinking that it's the same.

It's yet to be fulfilled, that does not mean it has failed. Once NK and others e.g. Iran are more open to the gospel then the end is nearer.
