So what, half of Europe was showered with Russian blood, will Russia claim Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, Warsaw and Vilnius now?
Also, what about Kuril Islands - they have always been Japanese yet Russia conquered them a few years before Crimea went to Ukraine.
It's not about principles, Putin needs a conflict because internal policy is failing so finding external enemy is always the best option.
