“...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.

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?
