Warfare Wars are started because parties want, without any form of reasonable exchange, what others parties have; be it resources, assets or both. Control over resources and assets equals power over i.e. dominion over other parties; dominion over all. Warfare therefore, is an excuse to take what is not yours - to take. Wars are 'fought' over resources and assets, and a nation that wishes to initiate a war of conquest must create the illusion of an attack; a threat, to start that war because no citizen of a modern, industrialised nation will send their children off to die in a war to grab another nation's resources and assets - and must thus be coaxed into it - usually by means of a false flag or a war by proxy. Wars do not begin, do not drag on, because of truth' being told. On the contrary. Wars are started, and perpetuated, by deception. No wonder then the beneficiary of warfare turns out to be the initiator, meant to establish (more centralised) control which equals power (over). https://vriendenplek.nl/read-blog/1308_warfare
