Hot take. In what context is "conquering" occupied land "right"? Maybe you mean context of being the conquerers vs the context of being conquered?

- pvaldes 5y agoThere is always somebody that wins and somebody that loses, what really counts is if people lives better under the new ruler or not. Do you think that to occupate the nazi germany was wrong? Or that Cuba was a fine democratic place when ruled by the dictator Batista? Are you aware that the British Company of East India assasinated anybody that would stand in the middle of their way or that US United Fruit Company assasinated more than 1800 people and promoted coups in several countries? If everybody is evil there is not any difference when people in power change. Americans thinking that Cuba is a terrible place now and should be punished by that (and it IS a terrible place in lots of ways, for sure), forget that living under the iron fist of the big fruit companies was a slave distopic nigthmare. But this never was a problem for them, for some reason. Is ridiculous if we think about it. Americans are taxed since that "to keep alive, generation after generation, the flaming revenge of a bunch of great-grandpa mobsters that everybody today would find despicable". A terrible business for US that were paying good money to people for things like to infiltrate and put concrete in the milk truck of Cuban scholars. Benefit to the operation for American people: Zero; here is your bill. How many years the US people will need to pay still for this dusty "revenge business" nonsense?
