Strategy can result in an illegal war, we all know this. Strategy is only a plan of action to achieve something, in this case, not the survival of the...

Economic survival also. One option is for people joining the armed forces that they will not engage in any war or military action that proceeds withou...

You need a legal standard to establish legality, are we talking about the UN Charter and the ICJ rulings?

Thanks for the link to the Reuters report. "What are our leaders doing?" Well, they are prolonging your suffering for some good reason. National honor...

So NATO is careful about who joins them as well, some sort of a balance.

I think Putin's actions can be defended if, as he has said, Russia is fighting for its survival. As the world's greatest military power that won the c...

How does the civilian population figure in all this? Surrounding a city and asking the civilians to leave seems like a good strategy but the combatant...

To put it bluntly, joining NATO gives a nation absolute impunity, because any military action, whether sanctioned by the UN Security council or not, w...
