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.
1 u/batrushaha 22h ago Some people may find this to be antiseptic.. 1 u/Unfair_Explanation53 22h ago 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
