 People are tribal, there will never be peace

 I think greed and envy are in the core of all wars...and power. If civilization would evolve in ways of everyone having the same opportunities and access to wellbeing, we can and will have peace. Of course, as things are now, this would take a great reset....

 It's also about control

We want to control with power what we want or fear

To control, we form tribes

People are saying the US engineered the coup in Bangladesh because they want control of a strategic island near that country

 Is about resources....who has resources has more chance to survive. Any war at this moment has the intervention of major potencies just because of resources. They would not give a damn if petrol, or Gaz or carbon or lithium is not involved in the equation. 
My point is, I will tell you that probably, only 10% of worlds population, would be interested in control...and fight without looking at means. What about the other 90%? Taking my rough measure, I would say  90% want Peace. We are letting the 10% dictate and make their option/decision/choice, our own. I hate fights , I don't want fights and I avoid it at all costs.
