Yes and? They are not about natural resources.
replyLiterally about land, oil, rare earth minerals…
replyYou can claim that and it's a comfortable thing to believe but that does not make it true.
replyIf you want to convince somebody who actually seeks truth, you have to make an argument how any country who has started a war recently has had a net economic profit.
Weord position to defend. So: modern wars are not about resources because there's enough food to feed everybody, those wars that are widely understood to be about resources (oil, land) are "distribution problems" and not about resources, and the only way to prove that they are is to show a country-wide economic benefit to the victor directly related to the war...
replyConfidently dismissing others based on your own weird definitions and shifting goalposts does not make you seem as knowledgeable as you think.

replyThe Ukraine war was started because Putin wanted it to be his heritage that Ukraine is part of Russia. The Donbas has some mines but nothing that cannot be found eleswhere in the vast expanse of the Russian empire and nothing that Russia couldn't easily have bought with its oil money.
Ok, so what do you think these wars are about?
replyUkraine: Personal Grandeur by Mr Putin.
replyIran: Security, hate, personal Grandeur
