Hey, guess what? That's life, so unless you want to build a marauding army and fight and spill blood for said plunder, get over it, and go enjoy the artifacts in the disputed museum like every other person.
Hmmm. Well, for my country that would mean that we would have had to leave Germany in possession of all the art the Nazi regime looted from us between 1940 and 1945, and that would go the same for all of occupied Europe.
Minus of course what was looted from Germany after the victory in 1945, that would then be seen in the US and other allied countries..
