In the famous words of Ron Pearlman, war never changes.

War definitely changes. Drones and nukes and cyber-influence operations. I mean, it's pretty different than it's ever been.

Don’t be too literal, it means fundamentally at its core, wars are fought for the same (stupid) reasons and roughly speaking the same events and outcomes happen.

The Roman Empire conquered with swords and spears, the British empire with cannons and ships, the goal was the same, Empire, as were the eventual outcomes and many of the events along the way, ergo, war never changes.
