Yes, there’s a high chance for man to win the war, only if he shows a sense of responsibility. Also man can win if he acknowledges the fact that Allah entrusted him with trust (al-Amanah). So, man has to discharge thus trust responsibly.

The problem with us, we humans, is that ego always comes first in every situation we find ourselves; leaders often resort to grandstanding and pomposity, instead of thoughtful and responsible governance.
The Quran says: {He who follows the Right Way shall do so to his own advantage, and he who strays shall incur his own loss; No one shall bear another’s burden.} (Al-Israa 17:15)
Carelessness is also man’s Achilles’ heel; we see how this is making infection and Covid-19 related death surge in many countries. This is another problem of failure to feel responsible, stubbornness and inability to heed instructions.
It’s quite unfortunate that man’s impulse is naturally inclined towards disobedience, ridiculing all facts and truth. The only person he readily believes in is himself, but with no clear guidance.
