War is a crime

[icem3lter]

We are civilized humans not savages. Although we are civilized, we still fight wars like savages. War is essentially stealing. It's stealing because you are taking another's land, money, and resources while killing thousands of people in the process. It's immoral and unfair. The people who steal this way are not penalized for their wrongdoings instead they are treated as heroes.

If someone steals from someone else they get punished, if someone kills someone else they get punished. However if a group of individuals (country) plunders, murders and destroyes another group of individuals...they do not get punished. There is no authority to punish them.

The sad thing is, war has become somewhat like a game. We even have RULES for war  this is total madness. It's like making rules for stealing, it does not make sense.

War itself should be illegal it is a crime like any other crime. The fact that we wage war over each other reflects the evil in the collective human psycy. We are civilized but we continue to act like savages. What is the use of technological, and societal development when we cannot even be good to each other.

What do you guys think?
Is war justified?

War is money. Money buys power. "With great power comes great responsibility money".

It's all about money and power. Money equals power.

We're dominant species. We fight to gain power and spread our ideologies, no matter if people think they're good or bad.

Well then I guess stealing and murdering is right too.

If war is stealing, who is the thief and who is the victim?
Sometimes, it is not possible to identify the aggressor in a war.

That is true, war is stealing. The growing country who has the large scale supply of weapons are the real profit makers.

I think its not like that. Powerful people have money, but just rich people are not always powerful. We are dominant and cause of that we kill each other?
I agree with OP war is a crime. And we are not civilized people, we are not people at all. We are not even animals. Cause animals dont kill each other with that rage and evil. We are beasts.
Diogenes carried a lighted lamp in broad daylight looking in the streets of Athens for the honest man. When was that and are we better now?

War is crime. innocent people and soldiers die with economy of country getting reduced. I can't understand why you indicated rich people in it.

War, sometimes, is the tool to solve problem of population explosion, resource allocation, economic development, social contradictions and etc.

War is crime when everyone thinks of humanity and value of human life. War looks to be a business when a ruling power tries to conquer a particular community or locality.

[Daniel91]

It's true that war is not nice things but very cruel many times but if someone attack your country what you will do?
Just sit back and complain?
If you defend your homeland it's right thing to do.
If your country attack other country it's bad and not right.
It will be great that we live in ideal world without crime and wars but we are very fare from such age so we still can't avoid crime or wars.

[Tyrantt]

We are all people and war has existed ever since. What annoys me the most are war rules... I mean, it's war not a game, you go to war to conquer, destroy and occupy, kill or be killed. If some country has superior power than  it should use it nad what war criminals.. plz...

[Blawpaw]

every war is a crime against humanity. In the 21st century humans are still waging wars... I see no evolution in that!

War, sometimes, is the tool to solve problem of population explosion

Overpopulation can be solved by education. When people are educated, they won't have as many children. The fact that a half of the world does not receive good education is saddening. If all that money we spent on wars went towards developing the world as a whole, we would be far more united and our population situation will be far better than it is now. Also, war does not exactly expel populations rather it creates baby boom periods after millions have been killed and in a few decades the population increases more than it was pre-war. It is definitely not a good way to control population.

War pulls us to definite minus in nuclear era. Even winners would lose too much.

That is what happening in places such as the Middle East, Maghreb and the Sub-Saharan Africa. Uncontrolled population explosion leads to warfare and suffering. It is a never-ending cycle. Perfect examples are Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Syria.etc. The warfare encourages even more population growth, and the decline in the standard of education.

But like he said that is not the only case where war is used. Also useful to control society and distract people. People afraid of their neighbors are easier to control. War is also useful to steal money and resources from the population. From the country being attacked and the one attacking. Instead of investing the money in development it can go to the pockets of some businesses. Military contractors, weapons manufacturers, companies to rebuild after the war, etc. "War is a racket."

The sad thing is, war has become somewhat like a game. We even have RULES for war  this is total madness. It's like making rules for stealing, it does not make sense.

Better some rules to limit it than none. But it's true that they are mostly used by the stronger countries against the weak.
