There's legal invasive annexation?
Edit: Wait. No. I get it now. It's annexation when there's a believably responsible reason for it. It's illegal annexation when there isn't. Control is just, whatever, including annexations of all sorts.
Whenever it's the US or Israel doing the crime, it's legal!
Nobody is saying that.
The New York Times is? Or at least, they word it so one seems a lot more acceptable than the other.
Can you quote then?
It's in the picture above?
You must never have heard Trump speak. He literally says that.
Nobody is saying that on this webpage. I do not need you to quote trump fabricating the impression of a consensus where there is none. In particular without using, well, quotes.
Right, by “nobody” I thought you were implying that literally nobody was claiming full authority to do whatever they wanted. “Nobody on this webpage” makes much more sense.
I feel like considering the audience and not straw manning improves everyone's filter bubble and avoids cementing hatred to those outside of it.
And we sure have enough hatred. :)
Are you familiar with allusions? How about implications?
Things don't have to be said explicitly.
Yeah, it's called manifest destiny
Control is a broader term meaning it could be yours or your neighbors but it is occupied and garrisonsed by your troops. Annexation is formally adding the territory to your nation and increases the Aggressive Expansion penalty.
