Answer ONE additional question below. You can choose to answer either A or B in addition to the first question above that you answered as part of
your thread.
Is Statecraft “just a game” in which anything goes, or should students adhere to some basic ethical practices such as honesty and not harming

Choose an example of a war from current (or recent) events. Evaluate this actual or potential war in terms of the following principles of Just War
Theory: just cause, right intention, last resort, legitimate authority, reasonable chance of success, proportionality, and discrimination. On which
criteria does the war “pass the test,” and where does it fall short? Overall, would you say this was a just war or not? Given these potential
consequences, should the principles of Just War Theory (proportionality, just cause, etc.) apply to war in Statecraft? After a war has broken out,
have countries in the world adhered to the principle of proportionality in the way they have carried out warfare? Give examples
