One of the great things about globalization is that countries start to get dependent on trading with each other, preventing conflicts and wars and normally leading to peaceful resolution of issues.
This is the biggest reason why most western countries had a relatively peaceful last 75 or so years (globalization obviously is not universally a good thing and has many problems of its own).
But the global turn to fascism and isolationism is starting to dismantle this system, making it worse for everyone.

Trump acknowledged this week that “most” NATO members have said they’ll stay out of the U.S.-Israel war with Iran.
So far, the only NATO members that have come out in support of the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran are the Czech Republic, Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Lithuania and Latvia.
Others, including Denmark, Finland and Luxembourg, have remained neutral in their opinions of the strikes, while issuing broad criticisms of the Iranian regime.

The trump administration’s National Security Strategy made it official:
The American-dominated liberal world order is over.
This is not because the United States proved materially incapable of sustaining it.
Rather, the American order is over because the United States has decided that it no longer wishes to play its historically unprecedented role of providing global security.
The American might that upheld the world order of the past 80 years will now be used ins…
