Neutrality is just another way of saying "This isn't our war.", thereby ignoring, that every war is everyone's war, because every war tangents #IntLaw and the stances we take towards each war define to wich degree we uphold this law. Neutrality in its core is a violation of the #RomeStatute 's preamble:
