    If they spend money on something it’s because they expect it will give them a greater return.

    If they refuse to spend money on something it’s because they expect it will not give them a greater return.

    If you are wondering what return they get from war, I suggest you consider maintaining elite status as part of it, i.e. “have to postpone midterm elections due to the war” etc.
