Second, those who are attacked must be deserving of this war. Lastly, a war is only justified if it benefits the citizens. In my opinion

Just War According to Thomas Hobbes, “The state of peace among men living side by side is not the natural state; the natural state is one of war.” Throughout history, humans are continually at war with one another.
