There is a nazi problem in pretty much every country, it may just have a different label. This does not justify declaring war.

If simply having nazis in your country is a justification, the US could have attacked itself as well. Today, we still have nazis, by one label or another, in pretty much every country. Declaring war is justified only when their actions reach a certain level.

And remember, countries don't have friends, they have interests.

I'll just quote myself though honestly I shouldn't respond:

I wasn’t commenting on whether or not that was Putin’s motivation.

Note also that did I did not comment on the justness of declaring war.
