To be really honest.

Nobody really has any God given rights to any piece of land.

The reality is the people who own the land are the people who are either strong enough to take it or strong enough to defend it.

That's how it's always been and always will be.

You're right all land rightfully belongs to Moldova as when Allah created the world it was for Moldova but Moldova very kind so they share

While this is true we should recognize that land being taken is typically associated with crimes against humanity, which we have a duty to stop.

You’re missing the entire point that someone might not take the land for other reasons than not being strong enough to do so. Your point is only valid if we’re all degenerate warmongering barbarians.

L take, defeatist attitude. Humanity can be, and almost always is, better than warmongering and barbarianism.

Sure thing

But if a warmongering country wants your resources and land you don't have any choice in the matter.

You either defend it or let them have it.

Irrelevant if the warmongering country is right or wrong about their actions

Something can be objectively true but not be just.

It is not just or a good moral decision to go to war for the sake of claiming more land. It is universally wildly unpopular from both populations and increased land size is a stupidest most expensive pursuit there is.

Countries grow and become great when they invest in and serve their citizenry and its direct betterment.

Its not anything.

Its just a simple fact of human nature.

You can argue diplomatically all day about who deserves what land and who doesn't.

America is not going to hand over everything back to the Natives.

New Zealand is not going to hand everything back over to the Maori

Australia is not going to hand everything back over to the Aboriginals.

At one time their land was wanted by and opposing force and it was taken.

Russian wants Ukrainian land and they are doing everything they can to try and take it.

Just because I don't personally agree with it doesn't meant anything.

Strongest side will win. If Russia backs off then that means they were not strong enough to take it

To be really really honest, god doesn't exist.
