Implacable (adj) not capable of being appeased, pacified, mitigated, or change
You hate it, yes, but your eyes do not. Like a killer forest fire, like a cancer under a microscope, any battle or bombing raid or artillery barrage has the aesthetic purity of absolute moral indifference - a powerful, implacable beauty - and a true war story will tell the truth about this, though the truth is ugly.
Context clue is examples and logic. If something is like a forest fire and the bombings and the artillery barrages have purity of absolute moral indifference then we can assume that it is something out of our control.
The implacable fact that government can never be perfect makes every government a victim of overthrow sooner or later.
