Why cant countries come to an agreement on war terms like:>We wont attack your civilian centers and stuff vital to civilians>We wont attack your nuclear plants>Fighting ends on sunday so you can collect the dead>After certain criteria are meet war ends limiting casualtiesWarfare was much more honorable back when they would kidnap you for a ransom and treat you well instead of sending you to a prison forced labour camp
Because Russia exists that will treat you honouring those terms as a sign of weakness and attack anyway.Read the wiki on the Battle of Ilovaisk in 2014
>>65164323Countries civil enough to accept those terms are civil enough to just not fight at all
>>65164323Comes down to the stakes and how badly you want to win. Plus honourable warfare as a concept is a weird little Westphalian artifact, never really existed outside of the countries who signed that treaty; and even then western wars were a lot nastier than we like to romanticize them as.
>>65164323If you fought a war with an enemy that reasonable couldn't you just... Not fight at all or set up some favorable trade agreement to both parties? War as a matter of settling disputes has been largely overtaken by the sheer modern monkeyness of "I MUST LAND GRAB"
>>65164323Civilized countries did. Barbarian hordes consider them as weakness
>>65164323because all gentleman's agreements go out the window when things start to go bad and your own population will Mussolini you if you lose
>>65164323Just declare your batchall, bro.
>>65164441But then barbarians ended up as slaves
Because every person on earth thinks they are the exception for the rule they feel like breaking
>>65164441>Barbarian hordes consider them as weaknessAnd for as long as those barbarians exist, it IS a weakness they exploit regularly, both militarily and civilly

>>65164323Muslims are commanded by the Hadith to lie to kufirs (non-Muslims) and break treaties and ceasefires. You literally cannot believe a word they say because everything they do is toward the ultimate goal of destroying the non-Muslim world.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudna
No one likes losing and unless theres a more powerful country than both of you combined to set rules eventually one side goes low if they are losing.
>>65164323>we are stronger than you but we will cuck our self so its a more fair fightare you retarded or just brown and trying to gimp the west?
>>65166718Its more like you value your soldier life and have enough honor not to attack civilians and respect the dead and stuff like that.You know bombing civilian infrastructure is bad
