Line 2,056:

:Very often, war involves a lot of emotions on all involved parties. Thus it is often not easily possible to generally agree or disagree with one or another side of a war. From a standpoint of [[International law]], I would see the situation you are describing as a war of country 3 on both countries 1 and 2, individually. That is, country 3 leads two wars simultaniusly, and those two wars have nothing in common (from the viewpoint of country 3).

:The question of "can" is hard - I believe most modern [[Jurist]]s would say that wars cannot be startet arbitrarily; rather, they should be legitimized by the [[United Nations]]. However, [[George W. Bush|a small minority of the world]] disagrees and holds the believe (as was common until the 20th century), that a sovereign and independet nations has a right to start wars for whatever reason it may deem legitimate.

:Greetings,
