War is always going to be with us, because some asshole will always have enough greed or butthurt to want to fight over something stupid.
Exhibit 1: Russia and Putin.
The only two ways to avoid war are to either be so poor and so weak that nobody wants to conquer your country, or be strong enough by yourself or with allies that nobody wants to take the risk.
Anybody who thinks that a war will be quick and over soon has mush for brains.
Exhibit 2: The leaders of European powers in August of 1914.
Exhibit 3: George W. Bush, 2003.
Exhibit 4: Vladimir Putin.
Human civilization would be a wonderful idea. Instead, we are little more than primates who fling more and more lethal kinds of shit at each other.
If there is a galactic civilization, they probably marked space within a light-year of Sol as being off limits because the third planet is inhabited by rabid animals.

Not to worry. In Detroit Trump said that only he could stop WWIII. Also, not only did he invent Space Farce he will start the Space National Guard after he is elected. Enjoy your weekends in space, guys.
We have been at war since Cain slew Able. We are not one bit better for any of it. You'd think that by the 21rst Century we might have found a better way to settle our differences.
