      on one hand, we want to disincentivize wars of conquest but then we also want to disincentivize wars of REconquest, at least for their first order effects but if you permit wars of REconquest that might disincentivize wars of conquest by making their gains less solid

      so you know suppose Saddam Hussein conquers Kuwait, we can view his expulsion from Kuwait by a billion troops as discouraging future attempts to conquer places even as it is kind of bad in the first order

          so we perhaps we need to consider what might be the optimal statute of limitations here yes how long do we wait before saying "you know what maybe dont reconquer this place please its not going to have a conquest-discouragement effect"https://twitter.com/selentelechia/status/1393658138138537985 …

          unfortunately there is no cut and dried rule, you might view reconquest as worse if (eg) in the mean time theres been some massive culture conversion to the conquering group but this causes its own problems because then maybe the conqueror is incentivized to ethnically cleanse

          this thread spurred by me wondering when someone was going to cancel disneys robin hood on account of it being full-throatedly pro-Third Crusade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzQig2VIhXw …

          also spurred by reading Pyle's Robin Hood and wondering if the Anglo-Saxons will ever rise up in an ethnonationalist purge of the Normans, facilitated by modern DNA testing techniques

          Might I interest you in a global hyperpower whose need to let people vote makes conquering very unattractive to it but that disfavors expansionism in other states due to long term self interest?

          clearly Iraq was just protecting itself from predatory slant drilling and anticompetitive petroleum price fixing in the absence of an international order that cared enough to protect its interests
