We bought Alaska from Russia. Rare-earths and all.

Was wondering how far the news would go to try and derail any attempt at negotiations.

Its clear that they’ll make up anything to do it and this sort of crap proves it.

What would he do with it?
He already has vast stretches of Siberia and vast amounts of oil.
The war mongers are getting desperate.

Legitimizing Russia’s territorial conquests would set a horrible precedent,

Do you know what would be a worse precedent? Starting a nuclear World War III over Russian territorial gains in Ukraine. Or yet another forever war that we fund for another 10 years with no end in sight.

It’s much more likely that Trump will be negotiating for Eastern Russia.

Legitimizing Russia’s territorial conquests ...

These people miss the point.

Who is the convening authority if one country attacks and takes over land from another? In the wide world, only the UN has any authority, and it is severely limited. And Russia has veto power in the Security Council.

In this regard, only warfare can win land or take it back.

Ukraine simply does not have the military power to push the Russians out. Unlike others here, I also don't think Russia has the military power to take the rest of Ukraine. Neither Europe nor the USA will risk open war with Russia to push them out.

It is a stalemate, with both sides furiously throwing soldiers' lives away in a feeble attempt to gain a breakthrough.

The ONLY way the Russians can take back Alaska would be over the dead bodies of Americans. They do NOT have the military capability to do so, at least under Trump.

The argument that Russia keeps certain Ukrainian territories will lead to them taking our Alaska and our Alaskans is stupid and not based on military realities.

If it gets rid of Murkowski, it’s worth considering.

It’s one way to dump Murkowski.

The upcoming Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, aimed at securing a peace deal for Ukraine, is being framed as a dangerous strategic error.

Framed by whom -- by corrupt warmongering globalist @ssholes who would have seen this as a "great symbolic victory for the U.S." if it had been hosted in Anchorage by George W. Bush or Hillary Clinton?

The FRussians would love an Alaskan take over.

Can you imagine Alaskan cruises on Russian cruise lines? You would spend two weeks in every port because the ship broke down. A buffet of all of the cabbage and beets you can eat. Endless vodka and bad cigarettes.

It would be like Russian heaven.

How about we offer Lisa Murkowski? She’s not busy doing anything helpful to the United States. But she would fit right in at the Kremlin.

POTUS Trump knows how poor Putin is right now. Maybe POTUS Trump can make the very same deal on some Russian RE that was made when we had to bail Russia out by purchasing Alaska.

Good lord, these ninnies are going insane trying to find strained analogous situations to declare that we are all about to die. Just utter garbage.

“Any agreement is likely to be meaningless, as Putin has no genuine interest in a lasting peace.”

Putin, or Vlad the Invader as I like to call him, may or may not be interested in lasting peace. He certainly has invaded his neighbors more than 7 times during his tenure as ‘Chief Secretary’ or President (depending upon who you ask). All that doesn’t really matter, because you have to set peace and then prepare for conflict if you want to keep peace. Statements like the above are inflammatory, and don’t really go to ‘fixing’ anything. I just don’t care what Vlad’s long term goals are, because if Europe listens to Trump and prepares, as well as the United States, it doesn’t matter.

The United States and Europe need to face the reality that idiots in charge of two administrations caused the Ukraine crisis, and the ‘eagerness’ on the part of Vlad the Invader was because Europe was weak. That left the United States to commit to ‘war’ which would likely go nuclear quickly. Horrible position.

1. NATO allies need to prepare.
2. The Democrats have to stop laundering US taxpayer money via proxy nations like Ukraine.
3. The CIA and George Soros need a different type of relationship.
4. The Russians need to stop invading and trying to remake the Soviet Empire.
5. The deep state (Media and intelligence services) and the Democrats (least I repeat myself) need to be held on account for the Russian Collusion Conspiracy, Fake Impeachment, and provoking the Kremlin.

All of the above people who make statements like above, as well as ‘giving up Alaska’ are an impediment to peace. If they cared that much for Ukraine, they would be serving in the military there and not profiteering back home.
