So? The Americas were colonized by the British Empire even earlier. Is that any justification for the same thing happening over and over everywhere?

When the British invaded the USA, circa 1817, the Americans repelled them in the famous Battle of 1812. If the British tried to invade, again, the Americans would continue to repel them.

There really is no moral justification for the repeated invasions, anywhere. However, indigenous people have a natural right to self defense and the right to expel unwanted invaders.

Susan T, I think CK means it in a positive way (i.e. just adding info), and not as an excuse or justification.
