I'm not comfortable with the arms race that's developing. The reason the world has been so peaceful for two generations is that there's been deep economic integration and international co-operation and co-dependency. I

The reason there has been peace is because of a standoff between the power of the democratic block and the power of the non-democratic block, ie, Russia, China, etc. But the democratic block have largely let their militaries fall apart and rust out. That is what is allowing bullyboy Putin to push his luck.
