Hmm, assuming your inverted causation has an interesting implication: The press currently likes to chastise european politicians for the gas interdependence with Russia. This is just an result of peace though. It does not make sense to punish them for maintaining peace. Thus, we should rather congratulate european politicians for what they achieved until now. I don’t claim that interdependence is sufficient for peace. It is much more complicated. So counter examples are to be expected. What I still believe though: Intentionally increasing interdependence makes war less likely not more.
