Only after China's intervention and our own counteroffensive in the spring of 1951 did the policy of status quo ante emerge.
The cost to the West of restoring the status quo ante is estimated to be in the tens of billions of dollars.
While such a settlement could conceivably result in a temporary Iraqi retreat from Kuwait, even a restoration of the status quo ante will not "solve" the present problem.
The borders should not be changed by force and the status quo ante should be restored as a pre-condition for a subsequent demarcation and delineation of the border.

While the Soviet leadership has, at last, acknowledged that these agreements were illegal and immoral, they have neither repudiated them nor taken steps to return the occupied nations to the status quo ante.
Without effective leadership, the country blindly reverted to the status quo ante, with the same few people making a lot of money, if a little less than before, and the same people doing badly, if a little worse.
Matters would be made worse by the likelihood that electronic devices so integral to modern life would also be damaged or destroyed, making reconstitution of the status quo ante profoundly problematic even if, somehow, power could be rapidly restored.
