World War I and II. After the two world wars an agreement was made by civilized societies to end and also prevent annexation of land by imperialistic fascist regimes. Yet Putin does.
Fascism
the devastation and political fallout of World War I are what actually led to the rise of fascism in Europe. The economic ruin, loss of empires, and societal trauma created the perfect environment for totalitarian leaders like Benito Mussolini in Italy and Adolf Hitler in Germany to gain power in the 1920s and 1930s.
Fighting fascism was the defining objective of World War II (1939–1945), which is when the Allies fought to defeat the Axis powers (Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan).

The perceived hypocrisy regarding U.S. condemnation of Russia's invasion and blockade of Ukraine has also weakened the country's ability to support Ukraine - and the principle of nonaggression around the world. foreignpolicy.com

AR-15
30-round mag
in a civil society people don't shoot people. The AR-15 is a combat rifle. It is designed to kill. If u have an AR-15 with a 30-round mag then u r hunting people.
"I've hunted for 60 years and I've never had to shoot 17 deer at once."
"It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness in unnecessary. War is obsolete. It is a matter of converting our high technology from weaponry to livingry." Buckminster Fuller

good luck trying to get translators for your next war if you cannot be trusted to keep your promises to local allies.
American conservatives assumed that military power would enable the U.S. to accomplish a radical idealogical agenda, particularly in the Middle East. neocon neoconservatism described the thinking of aggressive foreign policy through military might, and made the strident case for U.S. global military dominance, and open-ended wars. That effort to force liberal democracies on other cultures and countries proved to be a costly failure. see Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, President George W. Bush.
ISIL vs. affiliates, al-Qaeda vs. Taliban
Sunni-Shia conflict as well as the intra-Sunni conflict.
ISIL was formed by defectors from al-Qaeda in 2014 in Syria who then attacked their parent organisation and its Syrian affiliate, Jabhat al-Nusra. ISKP was formed primarily by defectors from the Taliban in both Afghanistan and Pakistan in 2015, who then went on to attack the Afghan branch. In both cases, the defectors considered their former organisations not extreme enough or not committed enough to attack fellow Sunnis, who they considered deviants, or Shia Muslims.
