> What's the point of war in the modern world? The point of war today is the same as it was throughout history - wealth. > Some kind of weird power play that results in a takeover but is not disruptive enough to damage what was taken. That's the best scenario. Where concessions are made to avoid wars. > Something more like Russia taking Crimea and less like Germany invading Poland. Well Germany first took rhineland, sudetenland and austria before invading poland. Not saying we are going to escalate to ww2 levels, but in war, just like in life, it's baby steps before we really start to get going.
