We have dubbed this span since 1945 “the long peace” which largely this refers to there not being 2 or more wealthy nations in a hot war since the end of WW2. It’s been proxy wars pitting poorer nations against each other - armed by rich nations, and wealthy nations going to war with poorer nations. (Poorer nations going to war and civil wars nonwithstanding because they do not impact global politics)
Exporting the death and suffering to far off parts of the world and calling it world peace. The only difference with Ukraine is it is closer to home, for most of the G7 anyhow.

That was more my point.
