    If they’re not a country you’d have to say that Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Myanmar, Yemen and so on are also not coutcries. Country is a country if it’s internationally recognized as a country which is why Somaliland and Western Sahara are generally not considered countries but Lebanon is.

    Just because a country doesn’t think another is not does not justify an invasion.

      True. they certainly were countries.

      When it’s your neighbor, though, and they launch 1,000 rockets at you every month, your assessment of the situation will probably be most up to date. The land is your border, after all. And if lawlessness spills over, That certainly can be cause for just war.
