What is war?

War is an organized and often prolonged conflict that is carried out by states or non-state actors. It is generally characterised by extreme violence, social disruption, economic destruction, and an increase in mortality. War is one of the oldest and most destructive forms of human conflict, with devastating physical and psychological consequences for those who experience it. It can involve the use of conventional weapons, nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, and biological weapons. War can also involve the use of cyberwarfare and other forms of asymmetric warfare. #war #conflict #violence #mortality #consequences #weapons #cyberwarfare #asymmetricwarfare
