Well yes. As opposed to what? No one is starting a war in another country for anything else. That's the thing, you say it's a war for survival, but that's one side of it. The other is, indeed, in it for the profit. Border war is profit, even most of the times when one side says it's for their security. Random land grab is profit. Religion, ethnic cleansing, is profit by influence - some will believe in it, but the ones in power usually don't - they just want the thing that's over there and they don't want others to control it. There are revolutions and wars of independence where people will fight back to free themselves from oppression in their own land, but historically, those are the minorities.

And no one starts a war because "somebody over there is being insane on their people or others and needs to be removed from power". Not now, not historically.
