The post you are reporting:
One reason for the start of WWI was the absence of Democracy:
Had the peoples of the British Isles, France, Germany and Russia been asked: Do you want a world war?, the majority may have voted: No.
To date we have not learnt the lesson of refusing to allow REAL Democracy a say in Society.
The Second World War started for the same reasons, plus another reason, namely that Hitler convinced the German army to swear an oath of allegiance to him, a mortal man!
My Faith tells me that we must obey the High City and follow Christ, and subordinate our Country to Christ's Rule. Democracy is a way for people to govern their Society, but should always be subordinate to a Constitution of basic principles founded upon the Gospel.
The next step in this is for Countries to make an Alliance based on the Common Faith in Christ. This would mean a war between Christian nations would be unacceptable in principle.
We should not forget that all the countries that participated in the First World War, except Turkey, were nominally Christian in Faith and all proclaimed the Christian Faith as important. In reality, they had subverted the Faith and based their fortunes on massive military armaments. While at the same time not giving the People real Democracy either.
