Yup. And violation of property rights…there were many hundreds of years of property rights before WW2 victors decide to violate those rights without compensation. But murder is how such disputes are usually settled, so we should not be surprised that we are where we are now.

America was the WW2 thief, not the victor ;-)
Yup. That’s how war works. The winner takes stuff. It’s like hitting a reset button on property rights. And that’s exactly what sets up the next war.
The problem of property rights is that compensation is unaffordable for the victor.
So far, mankind has only found 1 solution to this problem: kill. It’s awful.
