I agree with what you're saying, but lowering the risk does not mean completely eliminating the problem. It's always hard to argue the counterfactual, but I feel the number of conflicts since 1990 that HAVEN'T happened due to countries being economically dependent on each other is significant.

The approach overall is a good one. It’s mutually assured (economic) destruction.

Dictators just don’t care however and Europe hasn’t had a ton of those since the 90s sans Putin.
