Europe stopped doing most of this a century ago, mainly because they couldn’t anymore.

It is like the bully who broke both legs and then goes around on crutches and tells everyone how great he is in that he doesn’t beat people up anymore.

Do you think the UK would have given up India if it were not for the devastation of two world wars?

Look at how France fought to keep its colonies in Algeria and Vietnam?

Look at how Germany bullies countries like Greece and Italy and cozies (up until very recently) to Putin.

Yes, but it doesn’t change the fact that Europe doesn’t do that anymore. The fact the past vices went unpunished doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
