I wouldn't brush off Taiwan or Ukraine as "political". In both cases it's about survival, and in one it's a literal fight.

Bro, it's political. Political isn't synonymous with "bad" or with "propaganda". Wars are waged on many fronts, and securing economic and hardware support takes messaging.

In fact, Carl von Clausewitz is known for saying "War is politics by other means" (among many other great quotes)

I'd say politics is war by other means. First we killed each other for resources. Then we decided killing sucked, and if your tribe doesn't kill my tribe, my tribe won't kill your tribe, but now we have to decide how many resources we each get. It's hard work to keep things like this and avoid reverting back to the default state.
