>>2546835modern geopoltical world and wars feels like a new way of looking at the world, no ideologies, no values, nothing that someone truly believes, just pure pragmatism and exhange of values, the salaries for russian soldiers are extremely good, so people sign up to get money and just a minority of soldiers are there for ideological reasons. The war was definitely over oligarchs disagreeing, profits and strategic weaknesses over any real belief
Same with US wars, its all about profits for the military industry, a certain group of people and natural resources
Maybe the whole of human history was only about money and pragmatism, but its been written with great battles between beliefs and ideologies as if its a fairytale being told, its better to say "we beat le hecking evil fascist nazi scum for freedom" instead of we died in a meaningless meatgrinder for profits and deals of the ruling class
