I was thinking about how we (USA) are always in continuous (ghost) wars and never try to negotiate for peace, to my knowledge.

How would a peaceful world look like?

One country and one languague or would a world power have to forcibly join everyone together?

Pretty porthole view of US geopolitics my dude. Peace isn't zero sum, someone always has to give up something, and people don't like to be made to feel like they've lost. I'd never want a homogeneous society either, too culturally bleak.
