War never ends, alliances and theatres merely shift.

What does that mean? Aren't there endless examples of peace? Unless you just say all conflict is part of a great universal conflict, which you'll have to give us some evidence for.

Don't believe the military-industry-complex lies. Peace is not only possible but natural.

Peace might be but competition certainly is more natural than peace.
