Even if that argument had any merit, you don't just seize land from another country. They should have done it at a negotiating table. It's all kind of irrelevant now, becuase of Russia's current actions. They are using the same premise they did for Crimea in LNR and DNR, but this time being murderous thugs about it. So they've lost any moral ground they may have stood on. Turning over Crimea at this point is the bare minimum they should do in reparations for their murderous monstrous acts.
