You know what’s the best way to get that to happen? Have a strong enough military
History, at least in the US, does not support your position on this. Hell, the US has rebranded what war means so we can get involved in even more foreign conflicts and kill more civilians. (“Enemy combatant” and “peacekeeping actions”)
At one point under Obama and Trump the US was at war in seven different countries. (Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen.)
And people call it a bad thing that Trump got us out of Syria and Afghanistan, lol.
Our military is not a tool of peace. It’s a weapon for corporate interests to brandish throughout the world.

Oversimplification:
Actually, it’s both, at different times, in different places, sure, but it isn’t just-1 or just-the-other.
Never has been.
Politics has ALWAYS been this way, through millenia.
Read Sunzi ( formerly Sun Tzu, aka Master Sun ), about how the supreme general never has to get into battle,
simply because the entire region’s too busy prospering, for anybody to be digging-into battle…
As machiavellian as some of that book is, that final principle’s right right right.
