Because there are scarce resources

[aristofun]

This is the slogan that make people scared and ready to go to war.

Please stop spreading this bullshit.

Otherwise specify which exact resources do you mean and what is the proof of it’s scarcity?

Even the oil is being constantly produced by the earth.

Even if at incomparably slower pace than consumed, but who says people will need it at all in 50 years?

But the myth about scarcity of oil right now can be sold to naive and ignorant crowd to be manipulated.

[uberman]

I did not mention oil at all, but in fact it was motivation for parts of WW2 as well as the first gulf war.

If there is not infinite abundance of a thing, it will potentially be coveted and contention for it will be a motivation to fight for it.

[aristofun]

The thing is that people create and develop resources when working together, rather than just passively consuming them from nature.

But this is something you can’t use to justify a war, hence you’ll always see this silly argument in any war out there.
