How is the history of the Assyrian state instructive for modern people?

If we consider the history of Assyria, then we can draw from it a lot of positive and instructive moments. The most important thing to know about Assyria is that this people was very fond of war in any of its manifestations. The Assyrians had a lot of campaigns and conquests. They fought for the sake of fighting. And their entire state policy was aimed at war. This led to the fact that over time they also became victims of their own conquests, when massive uprisings began, which led to the collapse of Assyria. And the instructive thing here is that nothing can ever be achieved by military action.
