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 Ive said Germany don't have right to defend? |
From your own quoted definition of war: "War is an organized and often prolonged conflict that is carried out by states or non-state actors."
That is war, taking Crimea was war. Cuban crisis wasn't as there were no actual military actions, there were no annexation or occupation or troop movements on another country's soil.
Some quite small NATO operation and Germany's involvement in it, is not much to speak about. Also I haven't said that Germany's army would be purely defensive force, I said that they have army to defend themselves.
