What can a country ask for?

I think it would be more straightforward to first figure out what caused the war.

The first thing is of course resources. This statement is actually very vague and general. The demand for resources is not only conventional material resources such as energy. I think it also includes the spiritual resource needs of citizens. This is not easy to explain. If you have to explain it, give an example. For example, the United States often borrows money from a certain country. The authoritarian system is used as an excuse to launch wars and promote so-called democratic concepts. Although this excuse is largely a political conspiracy, it actually partially reflects the spiritual aspirations of ordinary American people.

The second is cultural conflict. This is actually similar to the spiritual needs mentioned above, but it needs to be explained separately.

This seems to be an issue that is difficult to avoid, because regional conflicts and local wars are more or less related to cultural and ethnic confrontations. For example, the long-term confrontation between Palestine and Israel is actually rooted in culture. opposition.

The third one is the power imbalance between the various forces. Some people always ask this question, why do most countries in the world spend so much money to manufacture murderous weapons and continue to increase military expenditures.

In fact, this is a failure to understand the meaning of balance!

To give a simple example, if you have guns and cannons and I only have a dog-beating stick, I will worry about you bullying me. On the other hand, you cannot monitor me every day. You are always worried about what I am thinking. There are many ways to deal with you, so a lot of suspicion leads to the final conflict under the guidance of a certain fuse, and the situation is definitely out of control, because the power gap between the two sides is too wide, and this is the price of imbalance.

So the break in the balance of power between regions is very scary. In this way, it is not difficult to understand the "China GUO threat theory".

The meaning of a country's existence is to protect citizens' rights to survival, life, and RE N rights. , any behavior based on this reasonable requirement is sacrosanct.
