A member of Russia's parliament called for reparations from the United States on Sunday -- including the return of historic settlements in Alaska and California -- over the west's vast economic sanctions.
The Kremlin has been flooding the airwaves of its state-run channels with pro-war propaganda that paints a vastly different portrait to reality and shields the Russian people from the horrors of Vladimir Putin's bloody invasion of Ukraine, the Daily Beast first reported.
Alaska and Fort Ross in California were part of the Russian empire in the 18th and 19th centuries before they were sold to the United States.
Moscow's TV pundits and show hosts have also begun endorsing the idea of publicly hanging Ukrainians who are standing against Russia -- something the Kremlin has reportedly already mulled, according to Bloomberg.
Putin's 'spin doctor,' Duma member Oleg Matveychev, appeared on Russian state news on Sunday, outlining a series of demands for both Washington and Kyiv 'after Ukraine’s demilitarization is completed.'
It comes as Russian and Ukrainian officials meet for another round of peace talks Tuesday.
Meanwhile in the latest escalation of tension between the White House and the Kremlin, Moscow's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced new sanctions on Tuesday against 11 Americans including President Joe Biden himself, Hunter Biden, and White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
'We should be thinking about reparations from the damage that was caused by the sanctions and the war itself, because that too costs money and we should get it back,' Matveychev said on Sunday Evening With Vladimir Solovyov.

The operative word is “sold”. They weren’t taken by conquest. The Tsar took the money and turned the land over. Q.E.D.
Russia is going to have to get in line on the USA reparations feeding trough.
reparations for repeated sanctions, not cause they were sold.
besides reparations are all the rage now.

If they want Alaska, they have to take Murkowsky as part of the deal.
OMG, if Dimjo gets in any negotiations with Putin, Alaska & Fort Ross are lost. Maybe even if they meet for a simple photo op.
Alaska is one of the few states I have never been to.
I have watched “Alaska state troopers” though
I’m down with Alaska, if they keep Murkowski
GET IN LINE
We, the People of the United States, are asking Joe for reparations. Our grocery bills and gas bills are going through the roof.
They’d never go for that deal. That’s as bad as me wanting Spain to take back Puerto Rico, but they have to take AOC with it.

This is better

Beautiful place. You have to floor anything you drive to get anywhere, though.
Sorry for the double post
What's his FR nick?
Counter offer with the cast of The Five, Nancy Pelosi, and Juicy Smooliét.
Fort Ross? That’s kind of random. LOL... and that would suck for them to have to deal with California. They haven’t had to deal with actual communists in a long time.
