- Summary:
- This book establishes a moral framework and an understanding of jus ex bello that provides a more usable way to determine what outcomes would be morally permissible and thus what additional conditions are worth fighting for. The book also adjudicates the possible outcomes of the Russia-Ukraine War and the Israel-Hamas War. This adjudication is not intended to be mathematically precise but assesses the likely outcomes by assigning relative values associated with military capability and cost tolerance. It then applies the principles of the JWT to weigh those outcomes. Doing so may not provide a single best choice but should at least illuminate features of the conflict relevant to revising war aims or settlement. For both conflicts, avoiding rotten compromises entails finding equilibria where the aggressors are worse off for starting the war but better off for agreeing to terms to end the fighting, even if the outcome is just a ceasefire.
