But the 'win' has to provide greater benefit to the attacker than the losses.
What I mean is there must be a benefit in money/power/property when you attack someone or kill them.
Also, the increase in productivity gives the defender an upper hand - requiring more resources by the attacker to gain 'something' of value (power/property/etc...).
The ONLY reason we have ever had current warfare is due to fiat currency. EVERY war the last 1000 years has been fought with fiat (printed) money. The loser of EVERY war experienced hyperinflation (their money failed first). There are no exceptions. America did not win WW2, Germany printed themselves into oblivion and could not put fuel in their tanks - so they lost. The solution to WAR is hard money.
Could give 50 examples of technology advances fixing war.
I get your point, but there are ZERO historical examples of your situation. Study the history of gunpowder. The most powerful empore BY FAR at the time rejected gunpowder to build more swords and shields. The opposing MUCH smaller country embraced gunpowder and in a few short years wiped out the massive empire.
