This story is complete Wing Nut Daily garbage.

1) We don't own the islands, so it's hard to give them away. Wrangel Island has a Russian village on it and has been continuously controlled by the Russians/Soviets for over a hundred years.

2) None of these islands were included in the purchase of Alaska from Russia.

3) The islands aren't "in Alaska" they are all very far on the Russian side of the Bering Strait, and all but 1 are in fact North of Siberia.

They don’t exactly look strategic to me unless strategic means cold.

"This story is complete Wing Nut Daily garbage."

Why anyone posts stuff here from that "sensationalist" nut-case site that MOSTLY caters to the nut-cases (while laughing all the way to the bank), I'll never know.

Not only that—he’s letting Russia have Novaya Zemlya and the Kola Peninsula! Not to mention Kamchatka.
