- nickpp 5y agoI don’t need a framework, I lived under the Soviet occupation of the Eastern Europe. I visited Hawaii recently too - they didn’t seem occupied at all.
- ghostwriter 5y agoYou don't need a framework because you know you'll be inconsistent. Very conveniently so. > "they didn’t seem occupied at all" all you're saying is that you like the outcome. The fact remains the same though - that territory was occupied, and then annexed, and the government was overthrown by the U.S. military forces.
