If you know for certain how an AI will react, you don't need an AI; a
relay will suffice.

Maybe.  That's short range.  Longer range, the AIs might get together
and forbid wars.

There are evolutionary psychology angles here as well.  Humans have
been selected to go to war when they think there is a looming resource
crisis.  A side effect of that is irrational optimism by populations
and leaders that they will win a war.  There is no reason AI should
have this trait.
