The principle of the using force in international arenas

(Picture 1)

There is one principle for using force in international politics. That is “the first strike looks very bad thing”. So if we are following this principle and make induction think about this very complicated thing, we must say that the best way to justify own military action against another nation is to provocate opponent to use force against own troops. This is the most elegant way to begin little war against other nations.


Let’s think about the philosophy of the force. If some nation has nuclear weapons, the other world would be very tolerated against that nation. And nuclear armament gives the politicians the very good reason to let conflicts be. When we are talking about the role of nuclear weapons in many conflicts, we must say that no nuclear countries have ever prosecuted in international court.


Also, the nuclear weapons have very good influence in other military operations, or do you think that the nuclear arsenal of the United States or Russia has no influence, how other nations would defend their citizens in the case, that those nations special forces operate in their area. Ald this is the treatment, what makes nations proud.


That’s the reason why France, United Kingdom, China, Israel, Pakistan, India, South Africa and North Korea have to provide those weapons. They have seen how the other nuclear nations would be dealing in international politics. There is a long list of nations that don’t let their soldiers to an international court for defending themselves for war crimes. Or have you ever heard that any member of those nations special- or conventional military forces ever convicted or prosecuted in the international court?


There is the reason, why Great Britain and France produced their own nuclear arsenals, what is smaller, but also an effective threat in the hands of those governments. The reason was that those nations had colonies, what became independent mainly in 1950’s and 1960’s, In those nations, military forces were the threat, that members of the colonial army were prosecuted as war criminals And that was the reason for purchasing nuclear weapons.


And the example of those nations was the impulse for other players in the international area for beginning the production of nuclear armament. Those weapons are the very good threat, and they keep other nations out of the nuclear states internal business. From the shield of nuclear weapons is very good to begin attacks against hostile actors. And the tolerance of actions what nuclear state does is very high. And this is the good reason to take those weapons in the arsenal.


The world woke up to the threat of nuclear arsenal when Pakistan made the first nuclear test. Now the first Islamic state had those weapons in hand. And at least when North Korea made its first nuclear test and tested the missiles, what would have range even in Finland and other Scandinavia, we realized that those weapons are real. North Korea was not “quiet country” anymore. It was the new nuclear state, what has the technology to make missiles, what can attack in great part of the World. And that weapon is the good thing to make other nations tolerate the Pyongyang's policy.


That nation followed the route, what was beginning by Israel or the United States. The nuclear arsenal was one reason, that the United States air force ever needed to explain their actions in Europe. The threat in the eyes of NATO was that European allies of the United States would not get support from Washington against the Soviet Union. And the invasion of the Soviet Union was out of the question because the nuclear arsenal of that nation would be the very good shield against aggression. Of course Stalin’s actions in his country were defined as police operations, and international law doesn’t allow to convict the members of NKVD because they were police who worked in their own area and the international community has no legal right to convict the internal affairs of independent nations.
