Why not go to war to settle our differences?
It really depends on your definition and belief in what is just and what is not.
A stoic would consider no wars to be just.
A pataphysicist will consider your question and all wars as absurd.
A believer in an Abrahamic religion would tell you that the answer will depend on scripture and views of holy men/students of related texts.
An American would say any war waged to bring democracy and enlightenment to an inferior nation or peoples, or that advances American political and economic interests is just.
A vassal state or international organization and/or their leaders will support the views of the powerful and the side that it believes will bring future advantage to them.
All the proponents and opponents may cite history and religion and populistic beliefs to support their views and actions.
Both sides will manufacture false examples, lies and unrelated and illogical arguments in justification
Scholars will scratch their heads and not necessarily to fulfil their periodic dandruff quotas.
