it seems that only our instutions, or big chunks of the whole global trade system, want this war; but this this point, a lot of those systems are automated by rules and regulations and a overly complicated network that become inentelligible to the people 'running' it.
nobody that is alive and sentient (in the traditional sense) wants a war... and yet, we all see it looming.
Sounds a lot like how the assassination of the heir appearant of the Austro-Hungarian Empire led to the UK declaring war on Germany for marching through Belgium.
No one wanted the war, many knew it would be horrible, and yet it led to the most nightmarish collective human experience in human history.
