Why would they do any such thing?

The arms manufacturers and dealers, who use world leaders as fronts, make so much money selling arms to all sides that they have no interest in bringing such wars to an end.

Except, perhaps, if and when it reaches the point of endangering coastal shipping.

But for the most part the fighting is contained to inland dusty areas or, if near the coast, not of great importance in terms of shipping.

Yes, that's about it.

And stop driving motor vehicles?

Alternative energies will not replace fossil fuels anytime soon. In fact, most of them are subsidized.


Good Luck!

But if 70% of the manufacturing and selling is done by 1 single country it shouldn't be that difficult to lower those numbers.

I was not aware that there was a war going on in the Middle East. There have been several wars in my lifetime in the Middle East, but there isn't any now. When there were wars going on, the US military industrial complex was making huge profits selling weapons to both sides. Who are you calling on now to end the war?

How come its so difficult for professional military from different developed countries to take out 100.000 amateur soldiers in a desert area the size of New Mexico? Don't understand why IS is still going strong after 3+ years.
