The United States has returned more than 250 ancient artifacts to Italy after police discovered that they had been stolen.

I see it as a realist view. Land has been exchanging hands since Sumer and Elam fought the first war in history.
Practically all land on earth has been contested, and isn’t inhabited by the original human group to walk to it.
It seems odd to draw the line between human nature and colonialism.
You could make the same argument about slavery. It’s happened for all of human history.
So there’s no issues with slavery, right?
How about rape? No problem with rape? It’s been happening since time immemorial. Animals even do it. So rape is fine, right?
I would like to note that there’s plenty of war loot the US has that we took from dead Nazis, Imperial Japanese, Central Powers, Confederates, etc, and that’s pretty dope and they shouldn’t have it back.
