The discussion addresses the question of when the war will end and why a clear answer is elusive. The expert highlights that war transforms into an objective, autonomous process influenced by multiple factors.
It is noted that protracted wars integrate into economic and societal structures, driving state contracts, financial flows, job creation, and volunteer initiatives. War acts as an economic driver because resources are mobilized under its influence, providing incentives for various sectors to develop.
Ending the war would require a drastic reduction in budgets and could destabilize the economic and social mechanisms that have arisen around it. Therefore, war becomes a key systemic factor for many institutions, making exit difficult.
Long-lasting conflicts foster new social strata, notably groups that benefit economically from ongoing war. The author points out that such patterns are typical for any major war, and that decisions to end conflict often depend on external compulsion rather than internal will alone.
Thus, war gradually becomes a process governed by objective historical and economic laws, which complicates its ending and shapes new social structures.
