We get in war to protect American Dollar hegemony. USD is backed by more energy than Bitcoin, it’s backed by all the energy that goes into continuing the dollar as a global reserve currency exchangeable for oil. Hence why we like being in the Middle East to project our strength to those closest to the oil

That makes a lot of sense to me.

Think about how much energy 1 tank uses, then expand that energy all across the world where we have military bases on every continent

Wars have been a thing for a lot longer than American hegemony has

Absolutely but if you look at history most wars came to peace because one or both sides ran out of gold which required diplomacy to end.

We don’t need to come to peace these days, in fact the goal is to perpetuate war to continue feeding our military new equipment which then is used to hold our power

Or I should say, most wars that didn’t result in the defeat of their enemy*
