The Russia-Ukraine war and other wars.

My opinion is that it was an undesirable outcome for the Soviet Union to split. There was nothing that necessitated such an outcome. It will therefore be good if the breakaway republics can come back together as one. The war between Russia and Ukraine can potentially go on for decades if not resolved and people will continue dying needlessly in large numbers.
Russia and Ukraine used to be one country and it will be good if they can end the war and become one country again.
Our civilization should have outgrown wars. We should be at a level whereby we solve all our differences civilly via debates.
The same also applies to the problem between Israel and Palestine, India and Pakistan and etc.
We have the same natural resources on Earth or even less than we had when there was only a few hundreds of millions of people on Earth, yet we are better off materially and etc than them despite being over eight billion in population. This shows that management is what we need as we have everything in abundance. We should have outgrown wars.

Look, I don't know much about the Ukraine Russia conflict or the Israel Gaza conflict. I mean I know as much as the average Joe does, but I'm smart enough to know that that level of understanding is woefully inadequate in matters such a these.
But the one conflict that I do understand very well is India Pakistan one. And let me tell you straight up, your hypothesis that wars are due to resource scarcity is balderdash.

Some conflicts are ideological in nature, and no matter how much you drown Pakistan in resources, they will still always have Ghazwa-e-Hind in their hearts and minds. And they'll always attack India. Such is the ideology in this case. There is no debating with such an enemy. We've tried.

In Hindi we have a saying "lato ke bhooth bato se nahi mante" i.e. Those that understand only kicks won't understand with words/talks.
