    Actually, wars are not due to soldiers but the leader has the power to force soldiers to die for him. The military system empowers the mad man. The soldiers enable the madness by doing as told.

    Speaking of evolutionary reasons for war, another one is seeking belonging and meaning. When you think about it, a war is essentially an assigned group, an authority to look up to and an endless stream of tasks and things to do in one single package.
    A parental instinct is another one, less common but very powerfull. I've heard for example that the majority of highly decorated american soldiers from WW2 were oldest children from fatherless families, who got used to beying responsible for their siblings and later felt responsible for their comrades in a similar way as well.

    The real reason for wars is fear, and I am not saying this only because the Jewish religion claims so, but even from a scientific understanding of the amount of resources in the world and the understanding that resources are distributed unequally in the world.We are not animals, we are human beings, different from any other animal that exists in the world.Understanding man is the basis for peace, understanding fear of the other is understanding the cause of wars.There is a need for the demilitarization of weapons in every country in the world and the creation of one army for all countries.and you right about womens.

    Scientists must not be afforded any kind of protections that aren't afforded to everyone. It's completely antithetical to the name of science to hold some topics as taboo or unassailable. This talk was riddled with fallacies. For example: How do you know that countries that don't invade other countries do so because of women in government? How do you know there isn't another common factor that impacts both statistics?

By restoring a country to its old glorious days he will be remembered like those i mentioned above. If he loses he will go down or if he wins, he will be remembered by the Russian people as a person who restored Russia's glory.

      Glory's pretty awesome, and I can definitely appreciate how it can immortalize those who were brave defenders of their homeland, or those who were influential in leading their factions to victory.
      However, history does not remember just those who conquer. History remembers victims, those who lost, those who tried, those who were wronged or betrayed, and those who sacrificed themselves for the causes and dreams they believed in, even if those dreams never came to fruition.
      History remembers not just the glory of triumphant victories and ambitious leaders. It remembers hardships, suffering, and the bloodshed that were caused by the motivations of people who believed war was necessary, or merely a stepping stone to achieve their goals.

    War exists because the universe is made up of two opposing forces: reception and bestowal. When these forces do not enter into a balance, then they short circuit and try to destroy each other. That mutual effort of each side to eliminate the other is war.
    The root cause of war is in the clash of these opposite forces of nature: reception and bestowal. That clash of spiritual forces gives rise to wars that unfold in our material world.
    Therefore, stopping war at its source requires developing a regulating sense that has the ability to bestow above our innate force of reception, which are our self-serving desires that aim solely at absorbing into ourselves. In the language of Kabbalah, that bestowing sense is called a “screen” (Heb. “Masach”). Through this new regulating sense, we can acquire a state of positive and balanced human connection.
    That is the key to a war-free, harmonious and peaceful existence.
