That's only one part of the equation. It could be that the perpetual arms race also leads to situations like Ukraine's now, or many others in the recent past.
It's a way of thinking everything is a nail, since you are holding a hammer.

Nature may be metal, but we aim to be better. After all, when a male lion takes over a pride, he often kills the cubs sired by the previous male; do we want that in human society? The good old "is-ought" [1] problem of philosophy applies here.
Everything in nature evolves to consume the energy of other systems. Our unnatural Kumbaya/Disney society just plasters over that fact. Despite the bubble we live in, at the most fundamental level, we're evolved to consume.
