I think trade and mutual self interest is the best way to prevent global conflicts

  Apparently many others hold that belief, as well, to the extent that it is downright offensive to them to suggest otherwise. Any consideration that rather than mercantilism discouraging war, there is just a small chance that the threat of mutual assured destruction might be a disincentive for (rational) players to avoid total conflict? I'm actually more moderate than the above may sound (e.g. - I think we spend a bit too much on the military), but I am SOOOOOOO tired of "free traitors" spouting their ... stuff ... which only benefits the very wealthy (at least until the host dies from their parasitism).
