The premise was that globalization gud because entangling trade makes it more expensive to start wars. It wasn't wrong, now we're working through the "more expensive" part.

Not tracking the analogy? I think the argument is that the barrier to territorial war is much lower without having trade war as a buffer. Maybe without trade agreements (and the consequential reorganization of the economies around them), we'd already be living in the 51st territory.
