"I ask under what circumstances, using what strategies, and what ethical standards do we implement world peace without occasional war"

You said people want world world peace. That means they don't want any war. Asking how they account for war in a situation where there isn't any is ignoring what they want. You are attempting a gotcha that makes no sense given the thing you are criticising.

"I want a world without X.""Ah, but if you had a world without X under what circumstances would you allow X, given that it simply must happen.""I want no X at all.""So how would you justify or allow that thing you want to not exist?""...what?"
