Looks to me that they do want peace. And that they also want to be constantly on the brink of war so they have an official enemy to placate their population, but no further than the brink.

    Constantly on the brink of war isn't peace.

    Huh, no. I understand the nuance. Considering tha to be on the brink of war there needs to be fear and tension at the least. Does that sound peaceful?

    Quite the wiff on your part if you ask me.
