At least the Russians will develop and exploit the massive oil deposits in Alaska.

The sold it to us when it was worthless.

Now if they want to buy it back, let them try and raise the money for the value of what America has turned it into.

That has about as much chance of happening as Biden knowing the quadratic formula if asked on the spot. The communist United States will never give up Alaska to a smaller communist country like Russia.

Hey Russian dude. You have lost 1/4th of all of your tanks to Ukraine. In 2020, you were ranked as 2nd in the World and attacked #27 Ukraine. AND GOT YOUR ASS HANDED TO YOU.

You are a paper tiger. Try that crap with against the worlds largest military with the most advanced weapons and you will lose, by a lot.

Russia can claim all they want.

To whom do they make the claim.

Who can enforce the claim.

War would be the final word on the matter and Russia after the current conflict is in no condition to start another war.

Unfortunately there are quite a few Russian trolls and/or sadly deceived posters on this site who prefer Russia to the United States. I'm not sure which side that they would fight on.

Maybe we can just settle the dispute by giving Murkowski and her house to them as some kind of Ambassador/Embassy or something. We'll keep the rest of the state.

As I tell those folks, if Putin and some big globalist (George Soros, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, etc.) were in a duel with a sawed-off shotgun, I would root for the shotguns.

Do you really think President Biden could recite the quadratic formula without messing up with the help of a teleprompter?
