Neo-liberalism was supposed to pause all of these conflicts, but because America is no longer a leader in the world, because it sucks

Lmao. You realize that this idea in the modern era is based on one gigantic moron who's only job it is to be a stenographer for power had this big brain moment where he wrote down "No two countries with McDonald's have ever gone to war".

Then he changed it to any country that has a company that sells stuff to Dell won't go to war with each other.

The capitalist peace theory has never been true.
