I mean, how we got here is simple. The british empire wanted to maintain the balance of powers to prevent a repetition of the previous epochs of warfare in europe. It turned out that the germans were right about russia and communism. If you were there at the time which decision would you have made? Americans were against fighting germany. It took elite pursuasion to alter that position and that persuasion was made possible by the newly available technology that hadn’t been possible to use before hand, and the extreme wealth of the USA vs all of europe by 1900.
In other words that anglo preference for stability and trade to prevent repetition of european wars of destruction.
Step into their shoes, and don’t make yourself privileged by wisdom of the rear view mirror. All groups do what they think is the right thing to do if that thing is possible to produce an advantage for elites.
Otherwise the only solution is to eradicate the group of elites.
