Yes.

There is significant difference between the US' annexation of Hawaii and the fiascos of Russia annexing and then losing e.g. Kherson, or Trump claiming sovereignty over a piece of land he probably couldn't even control for a day, let alone keep indefinitely.

Edit: sry for the overly sarcastic tone before.
