Spot on AP, the machine doesn’t collapse so long as it engorges itself on human suffering. I’d also point you towards the following government report, as this has been an explicit policy of the US government since at least the 60’s:

“Lasting peace, while not theoretically impossible, is probably unattainable; even if it could be achieved it would almost certainly not be in the best interests of a stable society to achieve it.

That is the gist of what they say. Behind their qualified academic language runs this general argument: War fills certain functions essential to the stability of our society; until other ways of filling them are developed, the war system must be maintained ~ and improved in effectiveness.”
