Genghis Khan was a bit like Pablo Escobar. "Plata o plomo" (silver = trade, or, lead = death) In the end, "War is a racket" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War

  The concept of "War is a racket" could be applied to any externalities of the world, in the economy there are a lot of organizations and people who are benefiting from others' suffering. Beyond the ethical and/or moral factor it is what it is. There could be cases where controlling those factors goes against public interest (again, without putting an ethical/moral side). I think that when you add moral aspects your enemy takes advantages. That is war, the continuation of politics. Also, the recommendations put in your link [1] hasn't been widely proven.
