When Japan attacked America, we conquered and occupied it. That’s what you get for starting a war and losing it.
I would need to formulate my thoughts more, but Israel already won a war against them and occupied the West Bank, Gaza, the Sinai, etc. Then they gave up that control? I’m not sure why - costs, good will, undefensable (Sinai), etc. And let the Arabs stay there.
Would this be more like Americans conquering the indians, then letting them stay in certain areas of the country but they still attacked settlers so we defeated them and put them on reservations? And then back in the day they would wage battles out of those reservations? Obviously an entirely different scale, but similar back and forth?
As long as the indians don’t start getting help and shipments from Iran we should be okay.
