Yes, by taking “your” living room and pool for mine, illustrates Russia taking Ukraine’s Crimea and Donbas.

Your living room and pool were not mine to take, as Ukraine’s Crimea and Donbas are not Russia’s to take.

The American revolution, what justifies us taking this place from the United Kingdom? I’m going along with the justification stated in the Declaration of Independence. But, for people like you, who disagree with the doctrine of self-determination, how do you think about it?

For that matter, who “owns” the Falkland Islands, or the western 80 percent of Guyana, or Finland? My guess is that you’re o.k. with endless wars until eventually something goes really wrong, and nukes are exchanged.

As for the Donbas Region and Crimea belonging to Ukraine, Joseph Stalin gave these places to Ukraine SSR (the Donbas in 1922, and Crimea in 1954). On what basis, might I ask, did Stalin own these places to give them to Ukraine?
