Wars can still happen on bitcoin standard as well

Not even sure what “war” means anymore

Two or more opposing forces using violence to solve their problems.

Instead of seeking peace and diplomacy.

I agree. But surely not with the frequency and industrial scale we've seen ever since the creation of central banking. Which by the way, contrary to common belief, was not just prior to WWI (that was just the Fed), but in the late 17th century in Europe, and always with the same purpose: to finance and enable States to do perpetual, mass-scale wars.

Having states being able to print Monopoly money to infinity or cut coins sure helps funds wars. No doubt about that.

But to think we are all going to get a long and have disagreements on bitcoin standard is absurd to me. I can easily see Bitcoin elites acting like the fiat elites now. Using their bitcoin bags to start gangs and even some kind of wars.

Totally.

Who knows maybe by then it won’t be wars versus other humans but by some super AI.

Well, to a certain extent, like or dislike the guy, that's the thesis of Soft War. Kinetic war becomes kind of absurd, and shifts onto a competition for hashrate or, at least, a much reduced form of physical destruction and loas of human life.
