Basically all wars start (and end) out of economic interests
I would dispute this very strongly, unless you simplify ‘economic interests’ to mean anything and everything that brings gain to anyone, at which case a politician starting a war solely for PR to stay in power would count as doing so for ‘economic interests’.
True, but even politicians can’t start a war without incentivizing a whole machine of people to do it. And that power needs to come from somewhere and kept being fed.
The victor never really (or voluntary) leaves the spoils, or the land.
