In fairness to Obama, these islands are already “controlled by Russia. Geographically they ar closer to Russia.

And I wouldn’t want our military to go to war tying to defend them.

Lol, I invite all jingoists to look at the map. The islands mentioned are much closer to Russian territory than American.

As proudpapa correctly wrote, the islands are not militarily worth defending.
