Trouble with that is they inherit a bunch of propagandized people with that territory, thatβs no good for their elections.
I suppose that's true. I just think that there should some sort of semi-permanent punishment for a nation purposefully murdering the citizens of another in order to steal their land. If a nation is attempting to gain territory through violent means and ends up losing it instead, then I see that as a fitting punishment.
Easy, the leaders of that nation should be executed.
Personal consequences for the powerful making fucked up decisions certainly dissuades similar behaviors in the future, but this is not the only thing that should happen. The people that have suffered should receive a tangible benefit of some kind.
It certainly would be deliciously ironic for them to lose land in a war of conquest, but sanctions until they make tangible reparations to rebuilding the country they invade is a little more practical
You're right, it's mostly just a thought that I had. I think it's unlikely that they're awarded any more than Crimea as far as land goes.
Historically, that's typically what happened. If the aggressor was beaten back, the defender could decide to push them a little extra back and grab some land or a "buffer zone". Some years later, the aggressor is mad that they lost land, and have constructed a story about how they were the victims (after all, they're the ones that ended up losing land). Of course, they need to "retake their stolen land", so you get a new war. Rinse and repeat every couple decades, and you have European history up until about 1945.
Reparations don't have to be in the form of land.
You are correct. If and when reparations are decided they will most likely be monetary. I mostly like the irony, but that doesn't make it the best option available.
If the attacking country is a nuclear country they need to give some of their nuclear arsenal away.
I would say about 300 billion?
