I cant really track this post, but I do think any group that has been living on "stolen" land for the last 4+ generations should get to keep it. And the people displaced should have the ability to move on and make new lives for themselves. I mean, we should do what we can to stop this kind of stuff from happening in the present; but I dont think it is a productive, realistic exercise to try to undo the results of wars that happened long before any of us were born.
For example, I think Turkey should get to keep all the land they stole during their various genocides over the last 100 years. And if Russia holds Eastern Ukraine and Crimea for 80 years, Ukraine and the west should just accept that is the new reality.
And in all cases displaced persons should be given every opportunity to relocate and thrive, not be stuck in refugee camps generationally.
And I do think it is highly problematic to decide which wars you want to undo, and which you dont, based on your own ideology and racism; which is basically what you all are doing.
