The Importance of Mutual Respect in Conflicts

I fully believe that two sides of a conflict could be fully justified in destroying each other. It's always the case that both sides are equally justified when it comes to wiping each other out just because they have what is a fundamental disagreement. And I think that that's the reality of the world. When we say, and then when you use the term like, do you want to appeal to some moral right or wrong? I just don't care too much because I don't know if it matters, right? Like I could be the most morally justified correct person in the world, but if the other guy has the means of capability to destroy me, that those moral statements mean nothing.
