Well, in mind and in treaties and other agreements between political entities. In the case of nations, established and enforced at times via warfare and threats thereof, coincidentally. I think we understand each other though.

I'd say that the wealthy and industry profit. Period. I would not limit that phenomenon to warfare. It's largely true across the board. War is not special in this regard. Human misery is an opportunity business, no doubt.
The morality of such enterprise is left as an exercise for the reader.

My post was referring to acts between nations. Things get more murky to me when dealing with non-state entities. False flag operations are another kettle of fish as well.
