No, I genuinely don’t think they are interested in peace at all. You don’t indoctrinate kindergardeners to die for the motherland if you aren’t planning to have wars going forward.
Planning to have war doesn’t mean that one is after war. You just hope to negotiate that peace you want using war. More power or territory or wealth or whatever. If you could force the other guy to give them to you sans war, you’d do it.
