"War and Peace" dismisses explanation almost as soon as it begins and reduces the difference to appetite, pleasure, and performance.
The repeated "Not a chance" gives the poem its shrugging, adversarial rhythm. Rather than grant war and peace any grand moral separation, it folds both into wine, women, and song. That ending sounds cynical, but it also suggests that history keeps being decided by ordinary hungers dressed up as ideals.

War and Peace: no chance, let anyone talk, explain it. It all has to do with wine, women and song; a short resignation piece.
