> Then most important lesson is never learned: si vis pacem para bellum, if we want peace we need to be prepared to war, war between countries, between People and Government, between single humans each others etc. This is not true. It did not work to prevent WWII. The truth is that if you want peace, you need to work for it, not wish for the best. You need to keep a close eye on other actors, to act before a conflict arises, to promote understanding and cultural exchanges, and to do your best to ensure everywhere has a minimum of freedom and humanity. This is what worked with the European Union, and how we should approach conflicts everywhere (conversation, verification, deescalation). In fact by weakening all military forces, we buy time before disaster happens. If everyone walks with a loaded and unlocked gun, sooner or later there will be (mis)firings.
