The USSR and United States had zero trade and never went to war. And since the fall of the USSR the number of conflicts has not gone down. Ukraine and Russia were very interconnected, but that did not prevent the invasion.

The United States sold huge amounts of grain to the USSR. Did this prevent a war, or make a war more likely? Who knows?

The USSR built their industry by hiring Americans to design more or less all of it.

Uh, we sold them grain, and they sold oil, and let’s leave aside the NEP period…
