war of the roses
british philosopher and polymath thomas hobbes described human existence as a " war of all against all", so there's a battle fought without land explicitly
Agreed (though Hobbes wasn't the first who said something like that). ​
But true, the neighbour's
house-car-boat-dog-lawnmower-wife-account
is also a
'piece'
of land (territory)
that should be conquered. Freedom from the neighbours! ​​

Australia will be one of the front lines in WWIII, once China has gained a secure route out into the Pacific. It's teeming with REEs and various other resources.

The Aussies once went to war with the entire Ostrich population of down under for some reason, but I dont think Ostriches care about land so it cant have been over that.
Plus who the **** would fight over Australian soil anyway? You can keep your giant ass spiders that have no bidness being the size of my ****ing hand but are for some reason.

Thanks for clarifying.

So, the German conquest of the Caucasus was for the towns and villages, not the oil. They would have gone there even if the wells were dry…?

Exactly, which is why it's never about land. It's about resources and security.
those resources just happen to be on or in the land and in order to use that land they need to secure it

war is never exclusively about one thing. in order to mobilize that many resources you need a lot of buy-in, which puts many agendas into play.

The American Revolution was started by the Colonies to keep their land
The American Civil War was started by the Confederacy to keep their land
World War II was started by the Axis powers to take over land
The Korean War was started by North Korea to take over land
The Vietnam War was was started by North Vietnam to take over land
The First Iraq War was started by Iraq to take land away from Kuwait
The Second Iraq War was started by the US to take land away from Saddam
The USA ended up fighting over land in all of these wars, dum dum

Military bases = security. You can't police the world if you don't have police stations in strategic positions.
Biden and Trump should never have given up Afghanistan. When they took that police station away it emboldened Russia and China.

The U.S. built bases in all the countries involved in those wars afterward. Reconstruction afterward was very lucrative as well. The high-minded and virtuous reasons you give are just the narratives that have been sold to the plebs so we all can pat each other on the backs and sleep soundly in our beds.
