This might sound ridiculous to you.
But, it does matter. Ultimately, those in charge determine whether there would be a war or not. That's why their perspective matters.
It's ultimately because a war does enormous harm and throws the country's progress back by decades why the rich are (or should be) against war. That is a very important message that can have a lot of influence on the world!
The problem is that in the era of Imperialism, war is a necessity to certify new markets and redraw Imperial lines. The US provokes war in order to secure new markets for financial domination. It isn't about progress, it's about plunder.
