Yes, politics IS war without bloodshed; and war is an extension of those politics.

I abhor unjust war. I abhor injustice and bullying by the strong at the expense of the weak, whether among nations or individuals. I abhor violence and bloodshed. I believe that war should never be resorted to when, or so long as, it is honorably possible to avoid it.

I advocate preparation for war in order to avert war; and I should never advocate war unless it were the only alternative to dishonor.

War is an arena for the display of courage and virtue. Or war is politics by other means. War is a quasi-mystical experience where you get in touch with the real. There are millions of narratives we impose to try to make sense of war.
War is a conflict of great interests which is settled by bloodshed, and only in that is it different from others.
Politics, as the word is commonly understood, are nothing but corruptions, and consequently of no use to a good king or a good ministry; for which reason Courts are so overrun with
politics.
