Sarah Palin’s prescient assertion in 2008 that electing Barack Obama would embolden Russia to take on sovereign countries like Ukraine certainly seems to have been on the mark. Ironically, Tina Fey’s parody on "Saturday Night Live", taken for the truth about Palin exclaiming that she can see Russia from her house may also come true. I just hope we don't all wind up seeing Russia from our window.
After the events in Ukraine this past week followed by President Obama’s lackadaisical response at a press conference Saturday and Palin’s original remark that Russia can be seen from “land here in Alaska,” a 2012 article from The Voice of Russia reads a bit more ominously.
Sergei Sayenko writes:
…the purchase of Alaska has been surrounded by numerous rumors and myths. Some say that the US did not pay Russia in full; others insist that Alaska was not sold but was leased for 99 years. There is also a belief that the purchase treaty had been repeatedly violated, so it can be contested these days. The purchase of Alaska once inspired a popular Russian pop-rock band Lyube to compose a humorous song called ‘Don`t be a fool, America, give us Alaska back’. The song reflects Russia`s worries about Alaska, although the text has some historical inaccuracies.
…It must be mentioned, however, that at the time when the deal was signed, many Russians regretted that Alaska was no longer theirs.
…In the 20th century large oil and gas fields worth hundreds of millions of dollars were discovered in Alaska. Since then the region has turned into an actively developing US state with the highest per-capita GDP in the nation....

But that doesn't stop her from doing an entire column on such an idiotic premise.
Concluding with:
“As for Obama himself, he will never be found. Historians, looking back, will presume he met his fate at some unknown hour, in some dreadful fashion, at the hands of some bounty hunter, or fled back to his native Kenya where he died in poverty and obscurity.”

That would be one way to get oil-drilling in ANWR.
Oy vey!
Agreed.
Putin will come back from that moose hunt owning Alaska. Palin will never be seen again.
Stop romanticizing about putin. This is how we ended up with that thing in the white hut. OTOH, if you like putin so much, move to russia.
I will never understand the fascination with Putin among freepers. He's a tyrannical dictator, and an enemy of freedom.
He's not even that strong of a leader in the true sense of leadership. He puts up a big show of strength, but in typical Russian fashion resorts having planes shot down and enemies poisoned. Hardly tactics fitting his bravado.
Obama to Putin...”Go ahead and take it, just full of white folk”
"Alaska might—if hard pressed, break away from the USA and start the Republic of Alaska, with Putin to back their independence and trade. I could see Sarah Palin out on a moose hunt with Vlad Putin. Maybe Palin could be the First president of an independent Alaska?"
The first thing President Palin could do would be to break off all relations with Obozo Controlled USA. Then, give all the hate filled homosexuals, rinos and democrats 72 hours to leave Alaska and limit ABCNNBCBS to 30 minutes a day total tv time from 3 am to 3:30 am.
Then, Sarah offers sanctuary and tax relief to any over taxed and working conservative Americans as she eliminates any welfare in Alaska besides oil money payments to the natives like what a few Indian tribes in Oklahoma get.
With Obama, pretty soon we’ll ALL see Russia from our house.
I think they could don’t forget they have oil in Artic circle I should I know
I used live there
LMAO LOL!
LOL, do you think he could get that much?
Hmmm. Don’t think we Alaskans would take kindly to that. Does Obama realize that Alaska has probably the highest per capita rate of gun ownership of any state?
Ya’ know, Barky can see Alaska from Hawaii.
Bam-Bam is King Merde-ass ... everything he touches turns to crap. He does it on purpose.
Welcome to Detroit 2.0!
Let them take the far left parts of CA. The libs get what they advocate for, communism and KGB style governing and the rest of the US loosed all those guaranteed dem votes.
No doubt.
