I'm not advocating for war, just describing the truth as I see it.

I would hope saying the truth about the tensions would encourage people to back down.. or at least isolate the most aggressive player out from the herd of peaceful participants.

The 'pretty picture' is that everyone defends their own trade lanes and we get on with life.

You're right I do enjoy thinking about war, it makes relationships clearer. I don't want war.

That's the problem no matter how you rationalize it.
