You choose to interpret it as politics. But you can make decisions from many points of view, even a view of pure self-defence.

If somebody is engaging in pure self-defence it is a misframing to think of as political.

If you believed that it were political, then you could imagine compromises, coalitions etc. that could end it, but if it's pure self-defence then it will end when the threat is gone, and agreements etc. will be irrelevant.

It's hard to follow your argument. It seems that nothing has meaning because it's all perception. I'm saying there is reality out there, and in that reality violence is politics - whether or not you see it or I see it.
