This. Peace cannot come unless the civilians on both sides are loudly and forcefully willing to die rather than kill civilians on the other side. The problems can only be solved on an individual level.

You would need to find a way to make food spontaneously emit microwaves so it loses energy and cools off. That probably involves altering the strength of one of the nuclear forces or something.

Most of what works in the Star Trek movies evolve from what we know about the characters. Kirk's love for his ship and history with the Klingons, Picard's history with the Borg, Data's struggle with emotions, that sort of thing.

What character threads from any of the series could have been picked up and expanded on in movies?

Prigozhin was being politically displaced by the Ministry of Defense. His only hope was to displace the Ministry of Defense right back. Putin and the rest of the military didn't bite, and Prigozhin's position was strategically untenable. Maybe he could have taken Moscow, but everyone important had already left, and he couldn't hold Moscow once he had it. So he accepted exile over a fight to his certain death, because he's a mercenary and mercenaries don't die for a cause.
