War is All About Resources

[Jason]

In World War II, Hitler invaded the east to gain access for living space for Germans and for resources.  It's as clear cut as that and any racist stuff was just to justify the main reason.   Well, does anyone think war could come from other reasons?   Well, in the case of Hitler, you could have said he was trying to stop Communism, which indeed did take over Eastern Europe and part of Germany after World War II, but then again, Germany strongly wanted resources.

Without resources, there's no way any side is going to win a war. This is why in the olden days of war, supply routes always gets raided and provisions burnt down. Hunger is a very powerful tool for war. It can make your opponent surrender when they are supposed to fight but they can't fight with empty stomach. The same thing is what's happening in our world today but it's now more of military resources.
