> War against enemies such ISIS is indeed leading to peace

Better example is nuclear deterrence, which has effectively ended direct great power state-on-state conflict. War is never peace. But preparing for war protects an existing one.

As we've seen by the wonderful results in Afghanistan.
The US created ISIS in Afghanistan via their proxy war with Russia. Reap what you sow.
