But the problem wouldn't be solved if "only" "usa and other countries that like war" would start wars, would it?
That would in fact be exactly the same situation we are in today. Most countries don't start wars. In fact, very few countries start or participate in wars.

Which means it didn’t « solve » war.
The other countries are not starting wars now either

So it would probably work now, when most people are civilized. People do t want war, leaders do..

People want revenge, people want honor, people want justice, people want food. War is merely the method of obtaining any one of those, all you need is a leader to convince the people it is the best way to go about it, and that is extremely easy. It was true two thousand years ago, and is still true today. People wanted the Afghan Invasion.
Swiss democracy in no way « solves » this problem.
