Isn't every war about resources? From Libya to Syria. No one cares about civilians, it's about controlling resources

By George I think Antitroll is catching on. Yes, since the beginning of time, all wars have been over basic economics (resources).

Although there's mot much in the way of resources in Syria. Just a confluence of weaponized civilizations.

People need resources to live.

It is question of trade or raid.

I have read that Vikings would size up towns. If the town was weak, they would raid. If it was strong they would trade. It is not right. It is not fair. It is not even smart as a long term strategy for mankind. But it is the way things are. IMO the best thing to be is strongest or strong enough that it is not worth their time to try to raid. I am appalled at people who do not take defense, military science or military affairs seriously or think they can sashay and kumbayah their ass through life.

You might say that this is mankind's nature. I think it is the nature of every living thing. Troops of chimpanzees attack one another. I have not seen where a troop attacked another troop to gain territory because it was starving.

Myself I do not war, but I sure as Hell will fight one. I have relatives who were on the receiving end of Allied and Axis bombs. I do not want war, but I will not run from it like some cowardly Left-Liberal tard.
