Yes, I really, truly believe that if my choice was smaller country, with sovereignty, vs an unwinnable war with an overpowering force, I would ABSOLUTELY make peace so that my kid could grow up in a world with a chance of prospering.
Then the bullies get their way and everybody else just has to deal with it. It just doesn’t sit well with me.
They are the ones with the power to stop this and they are the ones who choose not to. I blame people fighting to be able to oppress others much more than I blame people wanting to fight for their freedom.

Congratulations, you’ve just discovered how national sovereignty works, and how it’s always worked.
And you seem to think injustices are fine if there is a loosely-defined set of norms backing it up. Thanks for the chat
