Please explain how trade has ignited wars in the last 60 years? Has not worked with Russia? My take is they changed, wanted to make this the future basis, and were rejected by western FAIL. So Putin was in a way inevitable.

Trade wants predictable law enmviuronments, whether that law comes from a free or a tyrannic regime, doe snto matter that much for globla actors. And ordinary working class people are more concerned for running their lives and getting over the month, than global idealism.
"Predictable law environments", right, now who was it who screwed that up four years ago? Trump or Jinping? You think that those "peasants running their lives" are worse than your global idealism and going to war for it?
