Of course- territory can never be gained by force. This is a basic foundation of the UN and its principles. However, by supporting the Zionists' illegal occupation of Palestine the US has driven its coach and horses through the law. This makes it IMPOSSIBLE to attempt to apply that law to Russia's occupation of the Donbas and Crimea- not least because those people ASKED to become part of Russia- and Crimea always has been. Russia's claim is ' self defense '. Israel has no such grounds.
Israel has fucked American morality and turned Americans into hypocrites.
9. Overshadowing the arguments in Paragraph 8 above is the undeniable fact that the Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact of 1928, as definitively glossed by the International Tribunal at Nuremberg in 1948, has abolished forever the idea of acquisition of territory by military conquest. No matter who was the aggressor, international borders cannot change by the process of war. Resort to war is itself illegal, and while self-defense is of course legal, the self-defense cannot go so far as to constitute a new war of aggression all its own. And if it does, the land taken may at best be temporarily occupied, but cannot be annexed.

Look, if your leaders are fuckups, that's not my problem...it's yours.
Russia has no claim to Crimea because the Russia that exists today didn't exist 30 years ago, and didn't exist 100 years ago.
Russia today is its own nation, with a history of no more than 30 years.
Laying claim to parts of other countries because the USSR once annexed them doesn't make them Russia's today, and it never will. So you should just give up because this isn't something you're going to win.
An illegal vote, not administered by Ukraine, and declared illegitimate by the UN.They voted to return. They are now forever Russian- again.
If you're gonna push Putin's propaganda at least get your story straight first.
