Nice try putting words in my mouth, but I never said any of this was "OK". It doesn't have my "blessing", I merely gave my observation grounded in reality, of how the world works. Hell no, if it was up to me, everything everywhere would be resolved peacefully, fairly and with diplomacy, not violence.
Honestly given your tone and snide remarks, I suspect you are too emotionally invested on this topic, for whatever reason, to have a rational discussion.
But either way, the ability to occupy and defend land will remain the determining factor in maintaining sovereignty, now and in the future. You can't count on the international community, and you can't count on what's right or just. ( call me a pessimist, I'll agree :)
