@dot_seekay @JeffreyASachs There's a distinction without much difference, because it supposes, as if conquest does not involve colonisation, which has often been untrue throughout history. Colonisation by definition would be: the people of the coloniser moving to the target territory after conquest.

@ErkkaRailo @rshereme With said U.S. intellectuals and other left-leaning pro-russia folk, the problem is, that their "America bad" meme is the only thing, that for them makes up the definition of the entirety of America.
