Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin fired back against Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday calling him a "silly little man" after he said that he was not interested in invading Alaska.
Putin downplayed the value of Alaska during a question-and-answer session in Moscow today, pointing out that it was a cold northern territory.
“What would you need Alaska for?” he said, advising Russians "not be overenthusiastic” about the state.
“Mr. Putin, such a silly little man on this matter of invading Alaska,” Palin said in a written statement to Breitbart News, pointing out that it was obvious that Russia got “screwed” after selling the land to the United States in 1867 for $7.2 million.
“Sure, in hindsight your czars of old may have felt you got screwed in the deal when Abraham Lincoln’s Secretary of State scored on this enormously resource-rich land for just seven cents an acre, but that’s water under the former land bridge,” she said

OMG - that’s AWFUL. LOL
I think Governor Palin probably did that on purpose as bait for those who like to attack her for getting her facts wrong. As is usually the case (including with Paul Revere), her words were correct as chosen. She's often playful with her wording - both better educated and more fun than Obama or just about any liberal.
Now Some will say "How Dare Palin Question Tsar Putin I!?!?
Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russians, of Moscow, Kiev, Vladimir, Novgorod, Tsar of Kazan, Tsar of Astrakhan, Tsar of Poland, Tsar of Siberia, Tsar of Chersonesos Taurica, Tsar of Georgia, Lord of Pskov, and Grand Duke of Smolensk, Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia, and Finland, Prince of Estland, Livland, Courland and Semigalia, Samogitia, Belostok, Karelia, Tver, Yugra, Perm, Vyatka, Bulgaria and other territories; Lord and Grand Duke of Nizhny Novgorod, Sovereign of Chernigov, Ryazan, Polotsk, Rostov, Yaroslavl, Beloozero, Udoria, Obdoria, Kondia, Vitebsk, Mstislavl, and all northern territories; Sovereign of Iveria, Kartalinia, and the Kabardinian lands and Armenian territories – hereditary Lord and Ruler of the Circassians and Mountain Princes and others; Lord of Turkestan, Heir of Norway, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, Stormarn, Dithmarschen, Oldenburg, and so forth, and so forth, and so forth."
But all I will say is GO SARAH~!
Putin is a Soviet KGB thug, always has been, and always will be.
Vlad’s got plenty of land and resources the Far East to fight over with China. If he ever wants Alaska bad enough to go after that, he’ll be fighting over that with them as well. I know it. You know it. Sarah knows it. And I’m pretty sure Vlad knows it as well.
Mark Levin just told his audience that Zer0 has put this nation back a century militarily. Our military lacks the ability to take on Russia and Putin knows it.
On the contrary, he’s now likely totally smitten with Sarah.
He probably say touche Sarah LOL!
I rather deal with you Mama Grizzley than this Metrosexual US president
One thing for sure we got some Awsome Alaskan Freepers Deadliest catch reality show and Alaskan last frontier show out of it LOL!
BTW I look up Vlady height he only 5’5
Seriously I look it up
As for your hero Juan McShame's foreign policy...here's an especially touching moment in Juan's foreign policy timeline...
PDS has got the best of your senses, FRiend.
Sarah had Vladie’s number a long time ago.
How’s that Flexibility™ working out for us?
Napoleon Complex for a Wannabe Tsar.
Sarah Palin and Tsar Putin I are the same height.
Unlike Putin, Sarah doesn't have anything to prove.
Juan McCain? That’s who you believe would make the world right?? Now that’s just damn sad.
Actually, things would be just as bad with Juan McKook in charge. The John you should be thinking of, is, of course, John Bolton, a real American hero.
Yep. And slimy Andy ranks down there even below the other Johnson. He came within one Profile in Courage of being removed, which is a shame.
But Seward's Folly has turned out rather well, even if it hasn't (but may yet) give us a Candidate.
Yeah I look that up you are so right Napolean Complex
