Ethics of Neutrality

[Anomalocaris]

If two camps are engaged in a struggle that could lead to serious change in the balance of power between them. Then, arguably, it is impossible for a third major power with economic and geopolitical interests affecting either or both of the camps, and the potential to develop the capability to project power to near the scene of the conflict, to be neutral . At best, it could pretend to be neutral by avoiding actions which may legalistically be considered an acts of war against one or the other camp.  United States most absolutely was not neutral before pro Harbor. and was an active combatant in all but name against both Germany and Japan.

A power that is technically not at war, but does everything again to help the military cause of one side and hinder the military cause of another is an absolutely no way neutral
