Are we really able to choose whatever we want to do?
As an 'adult' the answer is a resounding, 'Yes'.

Most people probably don't want war.
What do you mean by 'probably'?
Can you name one person who does want war?

However, our leaders make those choices for us.
And who chose to vote, or allow, so-called "leaders" 'in', exactly?
Also, what kind of useless human being needs or even wants to 'led', exactly?

And we may end up getting killed as a consequence.
you speak, here, as though 'you' are not going to so-call 'die' anyway.
The point is, many of us have no say in politics once our leaders are elected.
If you and/or others feel this way, then why elect another, to lead you?
Again, what kind of useless human being even feels that they need to be 'led' anyway?
Let alone then going and even voting one in?

We don't elect them to get us into wars.
Yet you elect 'the ones' that take you into wars. Could 'these ones' have gotten any more stupider?

Wars seem to propagate on their own through processes like we are seeing now.
Wars don't seem to propagate in their own at all.
Only you adult human beings propagate each and every war.

Each side thinks it is in their best interest to retaliate once hostilities start and backing down seems to be perceived as "weakness" or "surrender" and therefore a loss by the one who backs down.
Just expressing what you adults blatantly do is not going to help any thing, here.

Not all of us see things that way, but many people in power seem to and it causes wars to escalate.
So again,
1. Why do you elect people like 'that' in?
2. Why do you even elect another to 'lead you'?

Do you disagree with my observations above?
Which ones, exactly, you did express a few?
Some yes, and, some no.
Now, why did you not answer and clarify the questions I asked you for clarification?
See, you did answer and clarify, openly and honestly, then you will be closer to obtaining the answers, which you are seeking, here.
