[Comment under “Government Healthcare and the deficit”]

Just-war theory as originally formulated by St. Thomas Aquinas states that to be considered as fought in accordance with God’s will, any war must be:

A. Waged For A Just Cause
The war criteria of “just cause” means that[…]a nation’s sovereignty is directly threatened. A hostile nation intent on actively pursuing ethnic cleansing of your ethic group, on your border[…]American expansion in eastern europe since 1991 is ungodly under Genesis 11:8, which states God deliberately scattered the nations[…]
B. Fought By and Against Competent Authority
The aggression against ethnic Russians living in Ukraine was promulgated by the authorities within the Ukranian government[…]
C. Comparative Justification
Ukraine’s actions are morally wrong according to biblical rules and Russia’s actions bringing the war are morally right – this should be apparent to anyone not blided by one-sided media coverage. There’s a 2016 documentary titled “Ukraine on fire”[…]
D. Right Intention
The clearly-stated purpose of the war is to stop Ukraine’s murderous actions and ensure the safety and political freedom of the people of Lugansk and Donbas[…]
E. Last Resort

F. Probability Of Success
Entering a war is foolish and harmful unless there is a high probability of success. Russia is winning the conflict[…]
G. Proportionality Of Results

H. Right Spirit
All war must be undertaken with reluctance, sobriety and counsel. Those who engage in war must do so with great sorrow
