really? you believe these leaders to be that stupid?
WW1 lasted so long cause no one wanted to back out once it started
"neighber is getting dangerous, better kill them while im still stronger" "im so powerful i have right to anything i see"
emotions are not stupid, they are aside of inteligence
Yes
caeser was a genius
"im so powerful i have right to anything i see" <- this is a war land someone wants
over land*
its not about the land though, its about the claim
back in the day people would create monuments specificly stating the size of their empire and challanging anyone to rival it
those people dident get empires like that by being fools
but a claim like that isn't starting a war.
ill say were consiterably mild compared to then
Even in cases where it was over land, what do they want the land for?
i mean napolian only wanted to one up alexander, and he got away with trying it twice colapsing frances economy twice
even hitler was only interested in europe because it was a matter of pride to reclaim the sutendatenland
_fucking butchered that language_
i don't really care about why someone wants land. At the end of the day, its because someone wants land.
some times its pride, sometimes its resources.
so the question is, what land does russia want and why?
which i highly doubt would lead to a real WW3
most times its pride, its usually resources when the opposing faction is absolutely so weak they are consitered another species to the conquirer or its soviet russia
or the mongols
eh the mongols it was a matter that once the khan united the tribes the only way to keep them together was to send them to war
they seem more content to be cheeky bastards and hide behind "local" forces. If they wanted WW3, they'd have out right invaded people by now.
same thing happened with atilla
america is also one of those rare places that only wars for land and doesent care about anything else
because we are ruled by nihilistic capitalists
the good of the people is in spite of progress not the goal in the land of oppertunity
they want land so any future enemy doesn't have it
or you know, to keep our uncontroled consumerism ever more bountiful
theres a reason we use a disproportionate amount of oil compared to our population
you gotta burn money to make money
or it could just be our general power usage
yes
I mean, war is pretty much a zero sum game.
Anything you gain, is a loss for someone elese.
Even resources you gain in land you already own, more resources is an advantage over ones adversary.
So I guess its kinda resonable and paranoid to think that way.
that is if you take war as only an issue,
War forces quick adaptation and evolution of combat,
WW2 was amazing for innovating technology, in fact the first electronic analog computer was a product of this
