[Captain Peter Blood]

Wrong on all accounts. I suggest to study Russian History going back 500 years or more. Then you might figure it out.

Let me paint the idiocy of your argument in starker colors Large parts of Poland as well all of Finland belonged to Russia until 1918

Using your “logic” Putin is justified in invading Finland and Poland if their Government do anything that upsets him

Now do you finally see the utter absurdity of Putin's argument for invading Ukraine?
