Never said I supported any of it. I only said that it will happen, regardless of what idealists like yourself think about it. I've had time enough to learn that extraordinary circumstances will bring the worst out in people on both sides, and any international laws can easily be bent by the right people in exchange for future support/resources/fealty. Any world leader gives exactly zero shits about someone else's country until that country is either a threat to their own country or a potential massive boon. The age of rules-based order in the world has come to an end, and what we're witnessing now are the super megapowers asserting themselves. It's survival of the fittest now.
