very easily swallows the pill, as this has been known for decades and is the same literally everywhere

Wait, was that different in any point in time?
Basically all wars start (and end) out of economic interests (which come in a wide variety, eg land, easier enforced economic policies over another country, colonialism with military bases, or even just pain old money spent on war industry).

I would dispute this very strongly, unless you simplify 'economic interests' to mean anything and everything that brings gain to anyone, at which case a politician starting a war solely for PR to stay in power would count as doing so for 'economic interests'.

True, but even politicians can't start a war without incentivizing a whole machine of people to do it. And that power needs to come from somewhere and kept being fed.
The victor never really (or voluntary) leaves the spoils, or the land.
