For thousands of years, war typically resulted in land changing ownership and authority. Sometimes all residents were killed or had to flee, in other times they were just enslaved or even left to live under the new masters.
But post ww2, military conquests have become kind of a “no no”. Why is that? Why not just use the military to annex land and either expel the local population or annex it into your empire?
Israel does. We are the Israeli military. Lurk moar newfaggot.
because they are scared of nukes
Nukes and lethargy.
Because you can't keep profiting from war is there is no war.
Jesus can only be born as a human in times of peace. He is already here.
>Why do powerful countries not use their militaries for conquest?
Because the risk doesn't merit the reward, saged.
conquest is pointless when multinational corporations have all the power and free trade is a thing
If u already control a countrys economy it doesnt really matter.. I mean just look at the sanctions the mutts put on iran.
Theres nothing worth conquesting without a following genocide. Genocides are an excuse to attack another country at will.
Every country is blueballed because of the peace following ww2.
Every country is itching for a fight.
The first country to genocide will be shat on by the entire planet.
Nobody is stupid enough to make that first move.
Thats why skirmishes are called peace operations and the rescources are called liberation.
We pick the fruits but do not keep the clay.
hmmmm, /this/ sounds good, thx. Thread closed.
>Every war is about Genocide
Because conquest is more expensive in the long run compared to modern financial domination, also because citizens no longer consider explicit conquest to be morally acceptable.
They do. You just aren't looking at it right. The us government invaded and is still occupying Iraq and Afghanistan. We are trying to form a pretext to occupy Iran.
The reason it doesn't let ok like a conquest of centuries past is that we aren't interested in their land. We are interested in exporting our currency and importing resources like oil.
We don't go into Canada and conquer them because it'd be costly and we dont need more land. The us has enough soil to grow enough food already.
Read this and avoid posting retarded shit
Because 4th and 5th generation warfare. reign dominant over and grasp a conventional military could only dream of ever having.
Because military invasions and rebuilding the invaded land are much more expensive than simply dominating the Market of said region.
because then the USA and Russia would nuke all of non-white shitholes on the planet, which is a big no-no, because capitalism needs subhumans
It’s become taboo
because states don't work countries anymore but for interest of few people who have no interest into it because
>
ever heard of nuclear weapons you faggot??
this, you can kill the leaders of powerful corporations in conquest but not if they have the Samson option.
States never worked for the citizens. Conquest was simply required before modern shipping power because most goods were not shipped more than regionally.
>le sampson !!!!
Good God, you illiterates really are something else.
Between USA and Russia these 2 countries control 95% of ALL nukes on the planet. All of them. Do you actually think if even one of them decided to First Strike some "nuclear capable" shithole, they wouldn't succeed? Are you delusional? They have enough nukes to keep Israel in a constant state of EMP for hours, you dumbass.
What a fucking imbecile you are.
This
/thread
Because you tried twice already and it only resulted in tens of millions of deaths and whole cities than had been there for a thousand years blown to rubble. Third time we just nuke you, there is why.
They do. Russia invaded and annexed Crimea. Armenia succesfully holds Karabah. Albanians fought and took Kosovo and tried the same in Macedonia. Turkey invaded and occupied Northern Cyprus. The US has invaded and occupied literally half the planet. China builds islands in the South China sea and prepares to invade Taiwan one day. Soon, the Serbs will either invade Bosnia or instigate something. The world is full with wars and invasions, my German friend. When I was in Germany I was astonished by the level of political and geopolitical illiteracy and ignorance from one of the most smart nations.....
>i have never heard of nuclear weapons
Fucking zoomtards
The jews took over the world with a fake holocaust and fake nukes. There is no more conquering.
Also Kashmir litteraly two days ago.
>armenia
>albania
>turkey
>china
>serbs
>powerful nations
you misspelled subhumans that are permitted to wage cute proxy wars
Because of faggot ass Anglo-Jews.
Don't worry though, that's coming to an end soon.
>and we dont need more land
You always need more land, dude
It's cheaper to sell crap and tactically kill brown people worldwide, goy
Only if you have the actual manpower and the infrastructure to occupy it permanently through a civilian population that will live there.
...
>Why not just use the military to annex land and either expel the local population or annex it into your empire?
Because its cheaper and easier to just kill/bribe a bunch of local politicians to take on massive loans with the banks you control, have them use that debt to build out infrastructure like roads and harbors under the guise of ''development'' and then buying their natural resources for for pennies once they inevitably default on their loans.
Natural resources is the only thing worth taking anyway, taking slaves is no longer ok or even economically viable for that matter. The people worth a damn will leave the third world shit hole and move to your first world country by their own free will anyway.
Because people much smarter than you figured out that conquest is a shortsighted, backwards concept
>You always need more land, dude
If there oil under it,yes
But we don't live in an aggregarian civilization anymore. Alexander the great conquered Egypt because they grew alot of high quality grain there that he wanted. The US already is the beadbasket of the world. We don't need more land.
agrarian
Nukes aren't real you dumb faggots
fpbp, Israel has been gaining more land over the past several decades.
But the master race wants to militarily conquer the middle east.
What weapon did they use against Hiroshima and Nagasaki then?
they were firebombing raids like Tokyo
In the modern era, conquest is a pipe dream for power hungry losers that have yet to understand what governing large areas of land and huge populations of people actually means. It sort of made sense in the past when the larger world was unknown to most people, populations were smaller, and digital technology wasn't a thing but after finding out just how big this fucker is, how rebellious mankind is, what kind of dissent technology makes every individual capable of, and the risks you take on to your own military/infrastructure, it should be clear to anyone with at least half a braincell why military conquest is retarded.
Nukes you dipshit
He literally details how to conquer different types of states and how to use insurrections to topple regimes...
No it isn't. Have you heard about the Shock Doctrine? After the invasion of Iraq, politicians handed out construction contracts to private actors like candy. They buildt and buildt but never finished anything, profiting massively.
Thank you.
when you steal land with a population on it you either have to absorb, exodus, or genocide the population.
If you exodus them, they always try to come back.
If you absorb them, you now have more uneducated niggers that breed like rats.
If you genocide them, see the post you replied to but failed to read
>reading comprehension decreases.webp
i was thinking more along the lines of say, Europe uniting and annexing the USA, or China colonizing Latin America.
Because all countries have been conquered. As in all goverments have been taken over By the what Jow Forums calls jews. The armies now are nothing more than a play for the public
Whats with the middle east, russia down to india, all having this weird cartoon style of drawing?
We dont have this in the west.
Dead peasants don't pay taxes.
Israel hasn't really gotten the memo that we are progressing towards peaceful solutions to problems heheh
Optics, innernet, and the possibility of the gubmint being sued by the family members of the servicemembers (whom many would be egged on by critics and the gubmint opposition).
We are not even taking into account the fact that regressives want to remove the military permanently so that moar shekels can be ported to them to fund their own local "regime changes" (read: takeovers) in the name of "muh democuckcy 'n' free speechiz 'n' shieeet" (read: personal gain).
And I almost forgot, all militaries in the current year + 4 do not have the luxury of a large manpower pool/reserve and monies. That means, the modern day nations will not and would rather not start shite since the military would cost more to recruit, arm, and train new soldiers to bolster their current strength.
>b-but muh ISIS
They are funded by (((bankers))) and most of its ranks are religiontard zealots, the kind of people that fit the job description of what (((they))) needed to start shite inna ME as (((they))) saw fit.
>Why do powerful countries not use their militaries for conquest?
We use our currencies for conquest instead muppet.
