State Above All
As various regions of the world are formally consolidated and resources become more limited, it is the right of the state to exercise an aggressive policy to satisfy the material needs of its people and expand its power. And while war should be seen as the last act of diplomacy, it is still a diplomatic play, as the state is above human restrictions such as morality and law.
