1/. Why do you think #peacestudies exist to prevent wars? War, declared or not, is #stateterrorism by people in uniform, is the ultimate crime, is the sumum malum: The culmination & consecration of the #violencesjg. The surprise about Bucha et al. is for the naïve. This is war.
2/. There is no escaping the horrors of warfare. In any war. Rules, standards & legal consequences of jus ad bellum & in bello notwithstanding, war is an illegitimate means that poisons whatever ends it pursues. Pay attention to its implication here: war, INCLUDING defensive war,
3/. is polluted by the practice of warfare, which by definition mobilizes peak ingenuity for the worst anti-human acts that humans are capable of. War is a means, that never dignifies but tarnishes the goals pursued.However legitimate a self-defense war is, it cannot escape that.
