Wait until Putin claims Sonoma County, California because of the Russian Fort Ross.
It was the hub of the southernmost Russian settlements in North America from 1812 to 1841. Notably, it was the first multi-ethnic community in northern California, with a combination of Native Californians, Native Alaskans, Russians, Finns and Swedes.
Because Fort Ross was such a diverse settlement, Joe might want to hold onto it for a while longer.

It's in move-in condition for Russians.

It’s at least as credible as The Expose which is posted frequently.

That’s all they know how to do.

They obviously don’t know how to check a rifle and handgun in at the airport with the rest of their gear and catch the next flight to Kiev, to fight for democracy.

Zeepers just wanna Zeep.

So , remember when Mumbles said a “minor incursion” wouldn’t be a concern. Ivan then “minor concerned” Ukraine. I expect Alaska would be another “minor concern.?”

Well, the US bought North Mexico from Mexico, after a war, and bought Alaska from the Russians, both practically unsettled swaths of land full of wild savages.

Now the work of civilizing and modernization is all done, (Like Lazy Daisy-Head Mayzie) “The work is all done, now WE WANT IT BACK!”

I suppose France will demand Louisiana back.

I heard they’re going to take over Mars soon, right after they build a military base on the moon.

Russia:

55% our ground forces
47% our air forces
43% our naval forces
44% our population
40% the number of men reaching military age
10% our GDP / ~ 20% our PPP
Less industry
Less high tech
Less allies
Weaker allies (their most powerful ally Belarus is comparable to the Netherlands in military might, only with crap equipment, lower morale...)

The ONLY area where Russia shares parity with us (albeit without including our allies which actually net makes us stronger there too: UK and France) is nuclear deterrence.

—Meanwhile, as we concoct ever greater Russian boogieman stories, it is us building military bases on their border, trying to over throw their aligned nation Venezuela, butted into their formal ally Syria, over threw the government in Libya which was aligned with them, and invaded Iraq which was aligned with them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gideon_(2020)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_military_intervention_in_Libya
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_intervention_in_the_Syrian_civil_war
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_invasion_of_Iraq

—We have brought the border nations and former Soviet Republics of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia into NATO, tried to bring in the Republic of Georgia (which the Russians stopped) and recently Ukraine (which the Russians stopped) into NATO. Of course we decided that our promise of no NATO expansion into former Soviet Republics, made to the Russians in 1994, doesn’t count. And of course our withdraw from the Ballistic Missile Treaty which also impacts the situation in Ukraine we do not discuss either. And Minsk is completely irrelevant for us and most people don’t even know what that is, so well informed is the Western public from our entirely non-propagandist MSM.

It seems to me that it’s not them stomping all over our turf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug2468hDl6E

While our BS MSM and big tech sell us this narrative, pushed by a uni-party in DC which really just represents the interests of our big corporations and financial institutions, there is near silence regards mainland China, i.e. the PRC which actually does have some economic might, people, and military hardware.

I’m worried, but not about Russia.
