As long as the wars and abuses occur outside Europe, the Nobel committee probably doesn't care. I'm not sure I would call them failed wars. If those countries are outside the US-centric economic sphere, laying waste to them deprives China or India of access to their resources. When the US invaded Iraq in 2003, China, France, and Russia had the development contracts for the oil fields. After the invasion, Exxon (US), BP (UK), and Royal Dutch Shell (UK/Netherlands) were given the contracts. 20 years later, it's mostly controlled by China and Russia.
