The article argues that elections in countries far from the battlefields can affect a war’s legitimacy. Victories by opponents of the war do not necessarily halt military operations, but they weaken its moral justification and make political support for allies less certain. Shifts in parliamentary majorities also signal to adversaries that escalation is not inevitable, and may affect energy markets and the wider economy. The article concludes that the most important thing is to ask again: Why are we fighting, and what do we want once the fighting stops? The greatest victory is making the next war unnecessary.
