Saying the people come with the land is not a strong point, its a weird correlation bro. Populations can be evacuated or protected, and the fighting itself is what puts them in the most danger. More war means more civilians abused or displaced, not fewer.
You can reclaim and trade for land. You cannot reclaim the dead. This is why calling any negotiation stupid ignores the actual moral math of large scale conflict.
And you didn’t say how much land your life was worth. After you answer say how much land is worth your neighbors life too. Because we’ve done this before in war. Thousands dieing for inches…ww1.
