democracies don't fight one another, bro

I saw something about this once... The Golden Arches Theory of International Relations, or something like that? That two nations which both have Mcdonalds Restaurants trading there have never declared war on each other?

then I guess we don't have to worry about a future Indo-Pakistani war given that both countries acquired McDonald's joints in the 1990s

THEY'VE ALSO FOUGHT EACH OTHER WHEN THEY WERE DEMOCRACIES

The Mcdonalds theory of international relations makes much more sense to me. This is of course what is meant when it is said two democracies don't fight each other, as Americans love to conflate democracy with capitalism. As for India v Pak, many claim it was MNC pressure on the Indian government that led them to pursue a more peaceful response to the 2002 parliament attacks.
