This podcast examines the primary drivers behind wars throughout history, asserting that while stated reasons vary, the fundamental causes often lie in the pursuit of oil, trade, and power. It analyzes historical conflicts, such as World War II and the Gulf War, through the lens of resource acquisition and economic dominance. The text further explores how trade imbalances and the desire for geopolitical influence can escalate into military confrontations, citing examples like the Opium Wars and the Cold War. Finally, the analysis focuses on the Russia-Ukraine war as a contemporary case study illustrating the complex interplay of these three factors and considers how future conflicts might be shaped by emerging resources and technologies, all stemming from underlying power struggles.
