The perpetual war theory...hmm what banned criminal and defunct party embraced that doctrine? Very Nietzscheian of you.

There is nothing perpetual about it. War exists when anyone does not accept the existing division of territory between states and risks defeat trying to change it. Peace exists when no one is willing to run that risk. Usually because the side that won the last war arranged things as it saw fit, and the side that lost does not want to lose again. This is not "Nietzschean", it is not even a doctrine. It is a flat, unvarnished description of historical reality.
