In a video (21 sec), Russian state propagandist Sergei Mardan explains that the main purpose of war is looting of enemy's territories so that "we live better than them".

Then he adds "I think this is the goal of the war as laid by Putin". Note the word "war" is beeped out because in Russian political correctness code it should be called "special military operation".

What wealth isn't fundamentally tied to a physical resource?

A good or service can be tied to a physical resource, but still cannot be easily transferred by simple conquest.

A good is fundamentally a physical resource. Every service requires goods.

Plenty of knowledge/skill derived wealth - Eg TSMC, aerospace, software.
