Look at the context (Crimea, 2020). If we are choosing between ancient greeks and russians then the language/culture/identity of the people should matter.

This is not about Ancient Greece/Rome/Russia/etc. My comment was: you cannot cherry pick which moment in History, a country's borders are convenient to you. I remember talking to a colleague from Poland that was proud that X centuries ago, Poland (or whatever the country/nation was called at the time had conquered big parts of then-Russia, even conquered Moscow. If we all think like that then a WW3 (Romans, Nazis, Mongols, etc.) is certain.

Let's stick to the borders we got, and in the future let's rener them useless (e.g. European Union).

I believe in a Star Trek society. Not "we kicked butts back then so let's get back those lands".

According to you, the East and West Germany shouldn't have merged to "stick to the borders we got"
