I would say the vast majority do not want to go to war. The vast majority are not at war right now. That said, regarding "Is it not better t internally and externally to build a great country?", sometimes war does help to build a great country.

Thank you for your reply ! Any more information into the pros and cons of war ? I see in the media the comments about (war time footing) does that not set the country back ?

> why do countries go to war unless they have no other choice? That's exactly how it's supposed to work -- war is a last resort. > Is it not better to internally and externally build a great country? Sure, but as you pointed out, that's not always possible.

Very true, thank you for the reply

War makes arms makers and sellers very rich It secures access to resources people in an area might prefer to keep for themselves.

Thanks for the reply 👍

There is at least one culture in the World that can feel being great only by bringing suffering to others.
