Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but no it is not at all. Literally every plan to achieve something is tainted by the perception of the one making the plan. So he/she will naturally not take every possible human reaction into account.

So without a forceful silencing of those who oppose world peace it is not possible. It is against human nature even, because almost everyone is susceptibal to corruption of mind.

While it is a nice thought, it will always fail because not all humans are going to align.

Hence the technically impossible

Theoretically it's possible, just keep removing human problems until it becomes possible, remove religion, remove social class unhappiness, remove starvation, remove financial burdens and so on until everybody is happy, this isn't impossible if humanity either all got on the same page or a great war wipes out a huge amount of the population, it's just never going to happen

In theory it's possible because it's entirely based around human element that humans if they so choose can deal with

In reality its just not going to happen, even if you could solve a few of the problems there will always be somebody around to ruin it, humans just aren't capable of all coming into agreement

Well, I'm American. The U.S. public needs to insist. Personally, I am beyond disgusted by my country's meddling and shady deals and pouring arms into conflicts. When it comes to Ukraine, maybe we have to, I don't know, but there are a lot of conflicts that we should never have been involved in. I think the US public is, unfortunately, underinformed about a lot of bad actions of some of our government and military leaders. If more people were made aware, especially young people, there might be more support for cooperating with the ICC.

Edited to add...I know I'm being optimistic about my fellow Americans.

Edited again to add... what's with the downvote? Tell what's wrong with what I said. I'm trying to be nuanced yet optimistic here.
