    Exactly - we don't have a leg to stand on but it never makes much difference.  All you can hope for is that the Chago Islands will be returned to their rightful owners.

    As I recall things, the Russians took advantage of their push towards Berlin at the end of the 2nd World War to occupy all the lands through which they passed and install puppet Soviet governments who wrought havoc with human rights, massacring many, moving whole ethnic groups to other Soviet satellites and suppressing freedoms for all.

    It is hardly surprising then that, the minute the Iron Curtain fell and they regained their freedom, so many former Soviet block countries applied to join NATO to ward off further Russian aggression.

    Putin is using this whole Ukraine thing to distract his own citizens from his own misdeeds and failures at home where Covid, corruption and poor economic management are causing real distress for his citizens.  Just like Boris doing stuff to distract UK citizens form all his lies and failures.
