I love to see people working together towards a goal like this. But I'm also kind of worried.

There are things that stop war, like military alliances or a strength disparity but a lot of the peace dividend is that by being economically conjoined makes war a lot less likely.

Now the US is threatening allies with any leverage they have from tariffs to pulling troops to just stopping aid - removing economic codependency might just be playing into Putin's hands. He'd love to see the US become isolated and gradually turn on everyone, and without any trade that becomes easier.

Obviously it's slightly longer term, and I'm not saying codependency is good but war would be worse, and this shit show has only just begun.
