So your point is that if some territory was purchased by some country no matter how long time ago and no matter how much historical events (wars, new country formations happened since), then anyone claiming to be an “inheritor” deserve to claim their rights on the said territory. According to your logic, modern Russian Federation is the same country as Soviet Union, which was the same country as Tsarist Russian Empire. Dare I remind you that those three countries exist(ed) at different times, had entirely different social, political economic, demographical and yes, vastly different territorial setups. To equate them and make grievances based on history is a sure recipe for disaster we observe today. And that puts you personally on the same level with Putin as it was one of his justifications for Crimea annexation. Congratulations!
P.S. Good luck to Putin with saber rattling over Alaska...

Putin annexed Crimea back on the Obama Watch, when his CIA implemented a color revolution and overthrew a corrupt, but legitimately elected government. Neither Putin nor Obama ever consulted me. The current ruler of the Ukraine is also corrupt as is our "Resident." We should not send another cent to Ukraine. Not our fight.

"According to your logic, modern Russian Federation is the same country as Soviet Union, which was the same country as Tsarist Russian Empire"

What matter is what the people in charge of Russia think, and I suspect that is pretty much their thinking.

"And that puts you personally on the same level with Putin as it was one of his justifications for Crimea annexation. Congratulations!"

Yah, since you put it that way, I really don't care what you think.
