Asenior member of the state Duma, Russia's parliament, said that any U.S. states that want to break away from the country and instead join the Russian Federation will be considered.
The comments come only a week after Russia declared that four regions of Ukraine had become Russian territory, following referendums that were widely criticized by Ukrainian and Western officials as being sham. These were Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine and Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the south. The votes supported the regions changing from Ukrainian to Russian territory.

I love it. True deadpan mockery.
Can we give them California, Oregon, Washington and New York? Maybe throw in Illinois for good measure?
Will there be a referendum? If so, has Putin already decided what the final vote will be?
(Dominion may be of some help here, Vlad.)
Even if true, those states breaking free would hardly want to become socialist puppet states. I know the comment is for effect, but its moronic.

We have some pro Putin posters here thinking over the offer!
Russian politicians can dream but our US states are in a Constitutional framework that when ideally carried out in accordance with the Founders intent gives the US states a different system than Russia’s.
The federal government here in the USA is too powerful and must be put in its place like King George was 250 years ago France helped us to do that as I recall well perhaps Russia has a role???
Too easy. Take California, Oregon, Washington. Leave the FReepers.
We keep the states; All the Demonicrats and RINOcrats can go to Russia if they want to.
There is nothing worse than self-righteous socialists.
“Never wrong”. Look how right they are thinking what they’re doing in Ukraine. Look at our own american socialists in “charge” and what they are doing in Ukraine.
He might have more success if he narrowed his offer to target cities or Congressional districts.
No thanks, but residents of a number of blue states can migrate to Ukraine.
Putin Stooges are applauding.
Well, one thing that any state defecting to Russia can be sure of - that their kids will be able to GROW UP without being Groomed, just like everyone reading this post was able to do, but not today’s kids. As to whether it’s worth switching sides, that’s up to the states...
....we’ll keep the real estate and Russia can have the Democratic Party. We’ll buy em all a one way ticket but they must take every last one of them!
I thought Oregon was already part of the old Soviet Union.
Maybe Comrade Putin will annex California, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey?
