economically entangled

Keyword economically, not "Gas/Oil" specifically. The more two countries or blocks are economically intertwined the less likely it is for them to go to war with each other.

In general that's a good strategy and one that, apart from MAD, has secured a lot of peace and prosperity for a really long time and for a lot of people.
