- moi2388 1y agoDeterrence is a very good reason, and the reason we’ve had peace in the western world for as long as we have.
- StopDisinfo910 1y agoIntegrated markets and commerce is why we have had peace in the western world. The very things the current American head honcho is tearing apart. We have had very little peace in the rest of the world in the meantime between the colonial wars, the various proxy wars of the Cold War, then the numerous stupid adventures of the modern America and now Russia wanting to be an empire again.
- moi2388 1y agoI don’t think integrated markets were the cause. There was plenty of integration between Ukraine and Russia in the oil and gas infrastructure for example. (Nuclear) deterrence is why we’ve only had proxy wars instead of direct wars

We're still asking what happens when one group has lots of guns, tanks, fighter jets and missiles, and the other doesn't? Also, there is a difference between stockpiling arms and maintaining the ability to produce them if necessary.
