I guess the “O” administration would employ their default mode... bluster THEN surrender.

Russian Su-27 Flanker suspected to manouver under radar deep in Finnish aerospace. http://www.iltasanomat.fi/kotimaa/art-1288698939171.html … (Finnish news)

Somebody will have to translate.

Amazing that Russia, as gigantic as it still is, at one time had huge Alaska.

Suppose Vladimir Putin lets the United States know that he's going to bomb the bejeezus out of the "red" states of the United States unless we negotiate a treaty returning Alaska to Russia.

Obama will refuse to negotiate and bless the destruction of 'Red States'.

THEN when Russia has finished, Obama will surrender Alaska.

If Putin merely asks for Alaska instead of threatening to bomb Red States, Obama will surrender Alaska and claim that the life of every American was at risk if he did not surrender it.

The United States cannot surrender a state, even to someone who was not a tinpot, hollow threat like Vladimir Putin.

The Constitution provides for the common defense, not the partial abandonment.

Alaska was sold by Russia, it was not taken.

Leave it to the anti-American WP to attempt to legitimize Russian claim to US territory.

“...he will be a traitor and a saboteur”.

Describes liberals perfectly.

What if China threatened war over Hawaii?

Or Cuba over Florida?

Ummm, we've got an out-of-control President who thinks he's a dictator and an Attorney General who feels his job is to build cases against Obama's political opponents.

There's enough real problems on the plate...

The headline isn't exactly what the article was about, but legalistic convolutions tend to have a rather small target audience.

The Russians used to have a claim on San Francisco, too. I say we give it to 'em.

Technically the land deal done with Seward in the late 1800’s was done with the Russian Monarchy and not the Glorious Communist Party of der People and is therefore invalid in “Bergdahl Barry’s” little commie pinko mind so all Putin has to do is ask and Alaska can go back to being a Russian Province.

I am sure they could probably justify giving it back as correcting the horrible “American Colonialism” that occured when we “unfairly swindled the Russians” out of it buy paying below market value for it...

Maybe all those border chilfdren they are bussing in can take back the Gadsten purchase too.....

What If Putin Threatens Us With War Over Alaska?

Do we still have the receipt?

Russia sold the Alaska Territory to the U.S. in 1867 by formal treaty (”Seward’s Folly”, it was called by those who thought Alaska worthless), so does Putin now simply abrogate a treaty that is even more valid now than it was during the Soviet era?

Or is “Red Dawn” about to happen for real? Do the Russians think our military is that demoralized?

Just what are the capabilities of today’s Russian Army? What is their order of battle? Seems Putin could not even make good on invading eastern Ukraine.

Well, for starters “the one” will wet his pants...after that, name calling, sanctions, and whining, OMG he will start whining...mostly the response will be un-American by nature.

Basically, I would love to play poker with the resident...since he can’t bluff and he has absolutely zero testicular fortitude it would literally be like taking candy from a baby.

It is a damn shame that this once great and powerful nation actually feel into the hands of such a rank amateur.

Ah, no problem. All Obemba has to do is to demand that Russia pay us off for all of the World War II debt that Russia owes us in ‘lend-lease’ and freebies that amounted to millions and millions of dollars after WWII, with interest. That’ll shut ol’ Putin up!
