In the end, yes, if only the pollution would stop at the borders.

your lack of determination is diusturbing, becasue you create more war, not less. The illusion that war can be scaled, leads to two things: first, your wars are considered to be more acceptable, which makes them more likely, and second: wars get lost.

Igive a griom understanding of war, and by that, itz scares people away. By that I make war less attractive, and I make sure that I win the ones that I pick. I aoso make sure that a lot of thiought is spend in advance wether a war in question is really needed and really wanted.

Be hesitent to wage war. But if you do make sure your reasons are such that you can justify it before your conscience, and prepare well - and then strike at the enemy with all might you have. Else you end up like in Iraq, Vietnam and Afghanistan. Half-hearted efforts. One hand bound on the back. Self-restraints. Bad preparation and planning ahead. History has given the results.
