When we talk about military power and its role in international relations, we have to think about a few important ethical issues:
Just War Theory: This theory asks questions like when should we go to war and why. Is the reason for going to war fair? Are the actions taken during the war fair and appropriate?
Impact on Civilians: Military actions can affect people who are not fighting. It’s really important to think about the consequences for innocent people.
Power Dynamics: Using military strength can mess up diplomatic talks and create unfair situations between countries.
In the end, finding a balance between keeping our country safe and acting ethically is a tough challenge.
