Crimea was annexed by Russia in 1774 after the Russo-Turkish war, a year before the "Shot heart around the world" on Lexington Green in 1775.
At that time, Texas and California were remote underdeveloped provinces in the Spanish Colonies.
Texas and California became provinces of the Unidos Estados Mexico after the Mexican independence from Spain in 1821.
Texas got their independence from Mexico in 1836, and became the Republic of Texas. They decided to give up their independence and join the United States of America in 1848 (which they regretted a mere 10 years later).
Shortly after the Mexican-American war in 1848, where US got California, Arizona and Nevada, Russia fought off the English for 3 years, the last time they tried to take Crimea, between 1853 and 1856.
After the Bolshevik revolution in 1921, Crimea was run as a separate Soviet State of the USSR until 1954 when Khrushchev took away it's status as a Soviet State and put it under the administration of Ukraine SSR.
After the Maidan coup of 2014, Russia took back control of Crimea, which is more important to the Russian Navy than San Diego is to the USN.
So explain to me again, in the context of 1850 vs. 2022, how USA has better claims on Texas or California than Russia has on Crimea?
I can tell you it's not by language. In 2022 Texas and California have a higher percentage of Spanish speakers than Crimea has of Ukrainian speakers.
