As someone who’s been digging into global conflicts and the U.S.’s role in them, I can’t help but see a pattern. The U.S. portrays itself as a champion of peace, brokering deals and waving the flag of diplomacy, but the ground reality tells a different story. In 2025, while the U.S. claims to be a peacemaker, it’s fueling wars and raking in profits as the world’s biggest arms supplier. Let’s break it down and look at the so-called "7 wars" where peace was promised on paper but war raged on the ground.

The U.S. war industry is booming. Ukraine and the EU have received over $70 billion in U.S. weapons since 2022, and Israel gets $3.8 billion annually, with extra bombs rushed in during the Iran conflict. Defense contractors are hitting record stock highs—check global arms stock prices from just three days ago, and you’ll see how instability is a goldmine for them. Trump’s recent U-turn on Ukraine only proves the point: war is big business.

Here’s my take on the “7 wars” and the truth behind the headlines:

Cambodia–Thailand: The border clashes near Preah Vihear temple were already dying down before Trump claimed a ceasefire on social media. No major war was resolved here—just skirmishes that fizzled out naturally.

Kosovo–Serbia: Trump’s envoy pushed an economic deal, but the core issue of sovereignty is still a mess. Violence flared up again after the so-called agreement, proving the “peace” was just for show.

DRC–Rwanda: The U.S. bragged about a ceasefire, but fighting in Congo never stopped. Hundreds died even after the deal was signed, showing how hollow these claims are.

Pakistan–India: Both countries outright rejected U.S. mediation. The Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025, which killed 26 tourists, triggered India’s Operation Sindoor and Pakistan’s counterstrikes. A ceasefire followed, but PM Modi made it clear in Parliament that India wanted no foreign interference. Pakistan’s Deputy PM even confirmed India shut down U.S. involvement.

Israel–Iran: Peace? Hardly. In June 2025, a 12-day war erupted. Israel struck 27 Iranian provinces, targeting nuclear sites. Iran hit back with 550 missiles and over 1,000 drones, killing more than 1,000 people. Israel bombed Evin Prison, killing 79. The U.S. didn’t broker peace—it joined the fight with Operation Midnight Hammer, pounding Iran’s nuclear facilities with bunker-buster bombs. Both sides claimed victory, but the conflict is far from over.

Egypt–Ethiopia: The Nile dam dispute is still a ticking time bomb. Ethiopia rejected U.S. mediation, accusing it of favoring Egypt. No progress, no peace—just more tension.

Armenia–Azerbaijan: Trump got a photo-op with both leaders, but Russia, not the U.S., mediated the real ceasefire. By 2025, Azerbaijan had full control of Nagorno-Karabakh, and the U.S. role was little more than symbolic.

The U.S. talks peace while arming wars and cashing in. These “ceasefires” are more about optics than reality, and the profits keep rolling in for defense contractors. The truth is clear: peace on paper, war on the ground.
