I think this is the case.

We're talking about a guy who thought that Lenin and Stalin were too soft.

His speech a couple days ago was unhinged and offering justification to invade almost all of Eastern Europe.

Did you actually listen to the speech? There was none of it. He stated that Soviet National republics were created by taking historical Russian territory and giving them to newly formed states. All true.

Who gets to rebuild their empire next? Austrian-Hungarian empire? Ottoman Empire? British empire? Etc etc

You mean "historical Russian territory" that the Russian Empire took with conquest? Maybe France should retake historical French territory from the Napoleonic era too?
