The failure is in humans. Wars have literally been around forever with us.
Ants have the occasional one, and a chimp war was once observed.....but we are the " Champions" of war.
And it makes no difference that we know it.
We just cant help ourselves.... however intelligent we may claim to be, we cannot overcome our base drives, they rule us whether we care to admit it or not. Our history proves that , conclusively

I have no desire to
start
a war.

I do think most want to live in peace.
History shows peace is good.
Peaceful countries, Switzerland,
are rich and people happy.

The problem is:
People are idiots.
They believe lies by insane leaders.
