How many are killed in the wars and invasions in the past of any country? Germany, Spain, GB, USA, Rusia, Israel, China........since the first Australopithecus discovered that a stick was very useful for smashing the skulls of others. It is inherent in human nature to have a tendency to destroy one's neighbor, at the command of leaders eager for power and often for childish reasons..

It's inherent to be territorial as much as it is to be jealous and greedy. Yet we still build mostly working societies.

It's just that the current international framework is still stuck in the primitive 'right of the stronger' principle.
