If the US can turn a blind eye to Israel's unrelenting annexation of Palestinian territory via settlement expansion, does she have any right to demand that Russia stops taking back Crimea? I am sure that had Khrushchev and the Soviet Politburo foreseen the breakup of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, they wouldn't have transferred control of Crimea to Ukraine. By consistently vetoing every UN resolution criticizing Israel over its settlement expansion, the US is tacitly acknowledging Israel's right to expand its territory by taking Palestinian land.
