War manifestly without just cause

I have no comment on geopolitical events known to me only through propaganda produced by professional liars in service to their father. I'm just noting a sync.

This morning, following a link on the Orthosphere, I skimmed part of Edward Feser's post "[One country's] war on [another country] is manifestly unjust." After an introductory paragraph, he begins by asserting:

The war clearly does not meet just war conditions.  First, [one of the aggressor countries] cannot claim a just cause. . . .

Shortly after this, I thought to myself, Why am I reading this stuff? and turned instead to the Book of Mormon. As it happens, I had just finished Alma 54 the night before, and so my bookmark was right here:

Now it came to pass that when Moroni had received this epistle he was more angry, because he knew that Ammoron had a perfect knowledge of his fraud; yea, he knew that Ammoron knew that it was not a just cause that had caused him to wage a war against the people of Nephi (Alma 55:1).
