Of unlawful warfare, what may be said of the other side?
Life feeds upon life.
Power is savage.
War is a savage writ. The last recourse before subjugation. Where law fails and tenacity of wills prevail.
The question should be, what is lawful warfare?
Or at what point do we call a circumstance war? When bullets fly or when law of domain becomes contested among bodies of power?

On one of the levels without ww2 and the cold war afterwards — there would never be the Internet and modern computers as we know them [1]
On a philosophical level — as long as there is a dualism, there is a constant battle and interplay between the sides. So war in one form or another is as inevitable as peace.
In a sense the whole life itself is a constant battle between good and evil, chaos and order, entropy and information [2]
On the surface — scarced resources, justice, religions are just silly stories that people create for themselves to sugarcoat and rationalize those (or other) deeply embeded into the reality drivers.

Also Jordan Peterson “maps of meaning” and any serious book on roots of religious myths and stories.
