Russian TV host Vladimir Solovyov, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, recently called for Alaska's return to Russia during a recent Russian-state media program.
-snip-
During the recent program, Solovyov said Finland, Warsaw, the Baltics, Moldova, and Alaska should be "returned to the Russian Empire."
"Do you think I'm joking when I mention Finland, Warsaw, the Baltics, Moldova? Everything returned to the Russian Empire. And Alaska too, while you're at it," Solovyov said in a translated video.

But I get called a “zeeper” when I mention KGB Putin’s desires to put the Soviet Union back together...
Wierd, I don’t like Zelenskii either...
Try to take back Alaska... I dare you. Yes, me... personally... You think Simo Hiya was bad? You ain’t seen nothing yet Ivan...
Funny! And not even the Bee!
“...recently called for Alaska’s return to Russia...”
No problem with me. We paid market price at the time for it on March 30, 1867 with an agreement to purchase Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million. If they want it back, sell it to them. But at the current market price if you add ANWR, the fishing, tourism and mining industries growth, and the inplace infastructure added since the mid 1800’s, I don’t think they have that much credit or worth to buy it. Guess it’s off the market. If they did, it would correct world hunger.

Would you settle for just giving them Lisa Murkowski?
Like kids in a playground...
Please, please, please take her away from here.
That’s OK. There are people on FR claiming to be “Trump Allies” who want to do a nuclear first strike on Moscow, consequences be damned.
You of all people, Mucus, should know how propaganda works.
One picks an extreme and absurd example, manufactures a straw-man in its image, and then publicly beat the hell out of it.
As Daisy-Head Mayzie said....”The work is all done, now we want it back!”
I don’t think Vladimir Solovyov is talking about “buying” it.
He just wants it back, and thinks they can take it from us.
What do you think?
That’s rich.
Here’s the counter offer we go with.
We keep Alaska.
We get:
Chukotka Autonomous Okrug
Jewish Autonomous Oblast
Kamchatka Krai
Khabarovsk Krai
Magadan Oblast
Primorsky Krai
We can call it West Alaska
Japan gets:
Sakhalin Oblast
It’s a good deal for Russia.
Good one!
We were supposed to get Wrangel Island when we bought Alaska but it’s under Russian control.
Not much there but it would make a good National Park.
