War is a crime

[bitbunnny]

The crime that you can't stop by any law. it's so sad...

[madonnino]

of course war is a crime, but the story tell us that a world whitout war is just utopic, it's sad but it is so 'that works

To some people, war is for business. Like gun and bomb manufacturers. Because its big time crime, government cant even handle them so they just join who they think who is beneficiary. Leaving civilian casualties.

Agreed. Each with different agendum like ISIS, NoKor and other revolts going on everywhere. Because its very expensive to persecute so many people so even governments go to war.

There are even ironies like promoting peace by proclaiming war Or by rallying.

Can't do anything to stop war. sometimes it should happen to teach us lessons. Take for some of the countries who have been great with wars. they've learned their lessons and look at them now, they're pretty much doing great with humanitarian activities, they now help improve poor countries.

War is one of the main driving forces behind human development/evolution and technical advancement. Competition and fighting is part of the human nature, so get used to that.

Animals are civilized, they do not make wars. War is a crime, I agree, but it is also one of the largest business in the history of mankind and that's all that matters to warlords.

I don't want to be a party popper but animals are killing without hesitation and regret, for food, sex, self defence or for position in a hierarchy. Ants, termites, and some primates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gombe_Chimpanzee_War) actually used to wage wars.

[Balthazar]

War is peace.

War is a crime?

The only way you will be able to enforce this thinking with warmongers, is to make war on them.

Defence ministry should be renamed to peace enforcement agency.

War is never a crime if the war you start for the peace and well beings of all the humanity. War happens due to the cruelty of the other party or enemy who tries to steal every thing from them because of power and ego.

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?

Of course it is if you think about it war is a large scale murder and robbery. The word war is sugar coated it may still sound disturbing but that is best it can get to cover the actuall meaning of it.

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.

Just wanna say that you're not totally right.
Money is different from power. In our current society, which is a rather peaceful one whatever one's could argue, money is deeply linked to power.

But when a society crashes, then we go back to the basics. The power, the real power, is the number of humans fighting, and the weapons they have. The people can, at anytime, in any of our civilized country, revolt and put down the head of the state to create a new order.

But well, where you're right is that "can" and "they will do it" are totally different, as long as we actually believe that money = power it will be the case :/

There are perhaps many causes worth dying for, but to me, certainly, there are none worth killing for.

[xuan87]

i agree with you, war is a crime, in war all the civilians will suffered, they will be lack of food they are going to lose someone they love, in the end the country will force young boys to join the war

a lot of kids will become orphan and nature will be damaged

War crimes are established by the international treaties concerning the use of military force - namely the Geneva Conventions and the subsequent Additional Protocols. There are also conventions and treaties concerning the use of certain weapons (mostly encompassed in the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons). Additionally, the treaty creating the International Criminal Court provides a definition of a war crime.

Mostly these "laws" came into effect after World War II. The laws regarding the use of force (starting a war) are called jus ad bellum and the laws dictating what is acceptable during war are called jus in bello. These have been established by the world community through practice of nations, the United Nations, and the treaties mentioned above. The laws concerning warfare are generally known as international humanitarian law.

War is not justified so long as you are the aggressor.
Well at least war is slowly on the decline:

No, war isn't stealing. Stealing is secondary, it's a consequence. War is the destruction of your enemy. IS wants to kill all the infidels. Hitler wanted to destroy all Jews, Gypsies and all people he saw as enemies of the pure Aryan race...
