19th century history notwithstanding, the United States does not exercise political control or sovereignty over any of these islands, and the residents of any of the islands that are populated by people who hold Russian nationality by birth, vote in Russian elections, pay Russian taxes, and if traveling internationally, do so on Russian passports.
This is a lot of nonsense by dumbed down jingoists; the American equivalents of Vladimir Zhirinovsky.
Sorry....His report is as phoney as a $3 bill. Read the original Treaty. I have a 1917 atlas showing the demarcation line and I posted the Treaty and none of those islands were part of the deal....In fact Copper is mentioned in the Treaty...and it’s not ours and never was.
