War is the only way that matters! Small consolation to the colonised and conquered. Do we not aim to hold ourselves to higher standards in the modern age? Imagine if our world leaders decided that the only thing that mattered is defending land through war!
I don't have to imagine. This is literally every country on the planet.
Things that make you sad can be, and often are, true.
Clearly they don't, otherwise we wouldn't have anyone trying to mediate conflicts, anyone calling for ceasefire in Gaza. Do we just accept Russia invading Ukraine? If Russia flattened the country and took over, do you think that would be justified? Don't get me wrong, I don't think there would be a procession of countries willing to invade and take it back, but that isn't because Russia would have claimed the land, it would be because they fear for their own people's lives.
Why, if you think every country in the world is only respecting borders because of military power, doesn't the US just take over? They certainly have tje military power to back up an invasion of almost any country on the planet.
