In the long run, Nature tries to achieve and maintain balance, even as it has to deal with the occasional extinction event caused by an imbalance somewhere in the ecosphere, usually the size of a nuclear explosion. A couple of hurricanes will make you respect Nature.
After all Earth has survived some 4 billion years.
But invasive species like humans what upset this balance, and that’s what we have human laws for, in addition to natural rights.
I don’t think The United Nations is supporting Putin or Hamas, and will recognize Ukraine’s and Israel’s rights to self-defense by any means, as you have the right to protect your home by any means.
An example is Holland puncturing its dams to flood a portion of the Nation and make it impassible as a battlefield.
Why was Holland flooded in ww2?

The Past Comes Flooding Back: The War That Almost Sank Holland . In this conflict both combatants, the Spanish and the rebel Dutch, planned and carried out a number military inundations, intentionally flooding enormous swaths of land in order to secure their strategic objectives. Apr 13, 2017*
However, it is possible that during the Dutch Wars of Independence the province of Holland could have been permanently flooded and lost to the North Sea. The Spanish, hurt by the military inundations, hatched a secret plan that aimed at defeating the Dutch by turning their watery ally against them. Luckily, this plan was never carried out.
While Holland survived, the Dutch constructed a line of fortifications and waterworks to facilitate military inundations, which became known as the Dutch Water Line. This militarization of the Dutch landscape had profound long term political, social and environmental consequences for the province and the region.
This is the mind of an unstable person. The analogy with ukraine attacking a nuclear power plant to turn Ukraine into a waste land to holland deliberately flooding their lands in war iis quite disturbing.
This is what you originally said. You have gone sideways since. I wish sometimes you would just say that you didn’t mean what I thought you meant, or you misspoke, or something other than reframing what you originally said until it’s something different. Because for sure you have not defended this statement.
No, I don’t blame animals with less-developed brains for how they fight or flight. I blame thinking humans who have inherited a system that could be peaceful, if used properly, for suggesting that blowing up cities is a sensible defense. We are not all marines. We do not automatically agree to having our homes incinerated in a fireball by mere association.
According to law, the self-defense argument for innocence requires an immediate and present danger. If your neighbor buys a gun or even shoots your dog, you don’t get to shoot them. You don’t get to point a loaded gun at them, because, at that point, you are the immediate and present danger.
I’m sorry if discussing war is upsetting to you. This is an adult forum. I make my judgments based on what actual governments and militaries say and do. I find many people in my Congress, quite disturbing. There are people in high positions that discuss these things every day. Maybe you should try a different forum.
So, leave those decisions up to me and don’t comment on other members.
The slight pause you took in posting, doesn’t release you from the request I made yesterday.
Look at the world. The budgets, the nukes, number of people in the military, all the people willingly participating. If you want a safe haven from that, go find one
Noo, no… You have this all wrong . I am not for advocating anything but peace and harmony.
I am reporting what I see is happening.
If anybody is destroying Ukrainian nuclear power plants it’s the Russians.
I am merely providing examples of “defensive mechanisms” employed not only in the wild but sometimes effective when pressed by existential circumstances.
You need to take your hate speech down a little, please.
