I am not sure why you turned this into a US military thing.

Sweden has a thriving military export business (Bofors, SAAB) that is close to top of the world in USD per capita. Not wanting to work with that seems reasonable.

Are you a troll? How is it even related to the comment? I don't understand.

Peace is because everybody agrees that war is despicable, borders shouldn't move, prosperity is achieved through technology not conquest.

150 years ago the British was the dominant military power. That didn't stop European countries from starting an avg. of 2 wars per year.

US military dominance is not without positive effect, but the main driver of change is public opinion.

All that is gone in 2014 when Russian Federation started war in Ukraine to move borders.
