If a war has finished, should the victor still be able to keep taking land off the loser? What’s the duration of that right?

- JumpCrisscross 10mo ago> If a war has finished, should the victor still be able to keep taking land off the loser? What’s the duration of that right? Practically? In 2026? As long as you can keep it. We're back to deciding borders through force versus treaty. Which, based on the rhetoric around Gaza, is ambiguously worse.
