How can you both say that the war is a vanity project for the rich and powerful and the same time argue that the deaths caused by it have meaning?

Because for some people they do.

edit: In another post you mentioned the breakaway republics, there you have your examples. People who don't want to live under a certain regime or don't want to live under theirs anymore. Sometimes fighting is the only option left for people, and sometimes fighting people know they will die fighting.

It's like you have an opinion and don't all at the same time. Maybe reconsider your position.

The world is an unfathomably complex thing, even if you leave the people stuff out, and we all have lots of opinions and mostly none of the information.

I do realise that I don't have a say in the matter and neither should I. The one thing I know for certain is that optaining a truth is on a spectrum between hard and impossible.
