Mike, your doctrine of moral objevtivity is of course right on target. But I am not clear about how standards or moral vs. imoral conduct can be applied to nations rather than individuals. Was Russia behaving morally when it invaded Ukraine? Ask Mearsheimer
Of course you are right about moral objectivity where indivivuals are concerned.

but what about nations. There moral intuition seems cloud up --- Is Russia wrong to invade ukraine?
Is Israel (full disclosure: I live in Israel) behaving morally in its current invasion of Gaza. The very essence of moral intuition, whose existence you proclaim, seems to fog up when my country is on the scales. I have a friend whose uncle was recently killed in Gza as collateral damage. This guy was an opponent of his government. He just had the bad luck to be living next to a rocket launcher. Who was responsible for the death of this innoccent? -- given Israel's need to protect its public. Your answer??? Laurin
