    That’s not why.

    Sometimes it’s due to strategic concerns in the region, sometimes it’s due to military-industrial lobbying, usually it’s both.

    The money in war isn’t in betting on it, it’s in selling weapons, ideally to both sides if you can swing it. They don’t want a winner, they want interminable war
