The War on Peace
Peace is a product of maturity and wisdom, both in short supply in almost every time. Maybe it is finally time to grow up. I'm not holding my breath, though;

Donald Trump has been traveling across the globe recently, spreading peace and upsetting lots of powerful interests and carefully laid plans. They hate him for it and are working to do anything they can to thwart him. Aside from having Trump as a current focus, there are many parties across the world who don't want peace for a variety of reasons, and actively oppose efforts to attain it. The Middle East, Ukraine, Africa, Taiwan, South America, and wherever Trump is working for peace there are people working hard to block it. We can look at a few of their reasons.


Peace as a threat to that power
Many of those in power see peace as a threat to that power. Some see peace as a threat to their livelihood. Others simply see peace as boring.

For the powerful, peace threatens their power. For these people, peace is just a time to consolidate power and prepare for the next war. A poor and frightened populace is much more compliant and much easier to manipulate than a happy, prosperous, peaceful people. Wars and threats of wars are well-tested tools to keep people afraid. European leaders have been using the threat of Russian invasion to keep their people in line for decades. It doesn't matter that Russia can barely manage to invade Ukraine. The Russian boogeyman can be inflated to far beyond life size.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
