#1 Hopefully we'll have fewer wars.

But come on, that's a naive hope. What happens historically in this case is that the powerful will hire mercenaries to do the killing for them. Blackwater, Triple Canopy, Wagner Group...does it really matter? They're all the same in the end.

#2 ..how long did the Wagner group last in Syria when they came up against a real military? /rhet question.

Yep, long history of Praetorian Guards (who in turn seem to end up deciding who their 'ruler' is).
