He seems to be only taking back places which were/are part of Russia but through some quirk of fate have ended up on the wrong side of a line on the map.
Lines agreed to by the various countries involved. The 28 reinforced battalions he rolled up to the Ukraine border were just tourists like the ones that actually killed others, no doubt.

So do those inconvenient lines extend to other disputed territories and, if so, how far back can those claims extend?

Certainly, as you brought it up, the mess in the Middle East was caused by the West, British, mostly, with French assistance, drawing lines on a sand map.

Will the claims to the French Channel Ports be re-examined?

Can Norway argue the case for the Shetlands?

Care to have another go at re-claiming the 13 American colonies?

But I understand. It is all our, the West in general, and America in particular, fault.

Sorry. We'll give it back. You sort it out.
