TF you mean 'assimilated'

If I lease you a part of my house (AT GUNPOINT NO LESS) for 10 years am I doing an imperial aggression when I move my stuff back in afterwards?

So imperialism is okay when you have a de jure cassus belli?

I'm strongly of the belief, by reading them in the context provided, that you don't know what any of those words mean

Imperialism - building an empire by exerting control over foreign powers

de jure - by law

cassus belli - cause for war

So conquering other places is okay when the law says you have a good reason to send soldiers marching down their streets?

Okay so 2 out of 3 correct.

Now I guess the question is with your sanity. What the fuck are you talking about with 'conquering' and 'other places'? It is literally their country. There was no war. There was no invasion.

You're delusional.
