About German army, I am talking about current German army, not some WWII Germany. Do you mean that they have no reason to defend themselves because of some things those happened in WWII? Even Russia (successor of Soviet Union) did attack WWII and did all kinds of shit, but I am not saying that they have no reason to prepare to defend themselves. Japan has army too, despite of WWII.

I've just pasted definition of war but you are telling your opinion. Apply there and give them your own interpretation of war. Once it is official, we can talk. Until then, there were no destruction and killing in Crimea. No war, since people wanted to be saved of war that would come otherwise from nazi government (like there it is now in eastern Ukraine). If you say otherwise, give me example from above definition and show "extreme violence" that is part of every war.
In this moment, what happened in Crimea doesn't fit definition of war. It is described as Crimean Crisis:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Crimean_crisis So, if you consider that war,I guess you consider Cuban Missle Crisis also war between US and Soviet Union. Silly.
And I am not talking at all about WW2. I am talking about German army taking role and Yugoslavia in 1999 (again like on every 50 years approximately). So, it is not just for country protection as you were telling above. And please show me where I've said Germany don't have right to defend? I ve said no one is planning to attack Germany ( as I am concerned, chances that Germany attack someone are much bigger considering history and role in 1999)
