>> How do you differ from "If you don't censor your newspapers about the Archduke's death, we will invade?"

If you make a bad argument, admit it. Don't equate declaring a defence alliance with making threats of war, that is just stupid.

But Germany essentially went to war in WWI to defend their allies, who had suffered what was quite arguably an act of war, namely a terrorist attack on their dignitaries on foreign soil, and which the nationalities involved were, according to them, not very cooperative. Now if you argue that is not the same, then the US invasion of Afghanistan is also a US war of aggression.

I don't see any relevance. I showed your Poland argument wrong, re WWII.

Since you lack better arguments, you're going to make me drag up definitions for casus belli and discuss this a long time, I take it?

But I don't need to do discuss Afghanistan since I only showed there were logical inconsistencies in an argument.

Edit: Removed the rest, not relevant or interesting enough.
