Is it true that the wars that Western world gets involved in nowadays are all about resources ?
Yes, most wars have been over resources or political goals/objectives. The United States in particular has viewed the world as a sphere of influence, sending off troops thousands of miles away to fight obscure battles in order to achieve percieved objectives. The USSR viewed the world in similar fashion. Since the collapse of the USSR, the USA still has not “stood down” from its cold war posture and continues to fight faraway wars due to percieved interests. Generally speaking, the US military fights wars to protect big business interests rather than defend the country against any threats. Our economic system and our government/military are interlocked in a rather incestuous relationship.
