See North Korea and Russia for good examples. Russia is only now being invaded for the first time since WW2, and North Korea hasn't seen invasion since the Korean war. Creating  barriers/ incentives to prevent direct military conflict is what creates the type of conflict we see in Israel now. Due to Israeli and Palestinian convergent interests, and their failure to bargain in order to achieve said interests, they are now in conflict. Instead of the war now being a conventional military conflict with a concise outcome, it has been a guerilla war with no side gaining any advantage over their opponent.</blockquote>
