Russian lawmaker Sergei Mironov suggested in a Wednesday post to X, the platform previously known as Twitter, that the oversight and power of the U.S. is weakening, citing the recent attempts by Venezuela to seize lands controlled by its neighbor, Guyana. The politician suggested that other nations should consider retaking old territories that are now part of the U.S., citing the examples of Mexico and Texas, and Russia and Alaska.

I would pay good money to see you sober up, saddle up a team of huskies and stake out Little Diomede Island, AK. If you see a trail of vodka bottles, send up a flare.
*******************
Did you want a new world order? Here you go,” Mironov wrote, as translated by Gerashchenko. “Venezuela is annexing its 24th state, Guyana-Essekibo. This is happening right under the nose of the once great hegemon USA. All that’s left is for Mexico to take back Texas and the rest [of the territories]. It’s time for Americans to think about their future, and also about Alaska.”
This is what Sergie Mironov a Russian lawmaker, is alleged to have said on Wednesday according to the translation by an advisor to the Ukrainian minister of internal affairs.(Gerashchenko)
“Meanwhile, Vyacheslav Volodin, a close ally of Putin and chairman of the country’s State Duma, suggested in 2022 that Moscow ought to retake Alaska as a retaliatory act against the U.S. for the heavy economic sanctions it imposed against them in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine.”
*********************
Two Russians I’ve never heard of, made stupid statements about Alaska during different time periods.
What does the arch Russian boogeyman say about this nonsense?
Why do you need Alaska?” Putin said during a 2014 Q&A panel when asked about the idea of taking back the territory by a Russian citizen. “By the way, Alaska was sold sometime in the 19th century. Louisiana was sold to the United States by the French at about the same time. Thousands of square kilometers were sold for $7.2 million, although in gold.”
The Russian president went on to call the purchase of Alaska an “inexpensive” one and urged his constituents to “not get worked up about” it.
Again. Please explain the real successes of the “Great Summer Offensive” so that I can sleep free of worry about those horrible RuZZians.
Funny, you seem to conflate the Ukraine with America. They are two different countries separated by an ocean and 5,000 miles. Really, it is true. Just look at a map.
“...do you think our invaders (and there will be scores of countries rushing in to pick our respective carcasses) are going to let you rebuild ANYTHING? ...”
Every country in the West is being invaded NOW !
Where you been ?
If Russia really threatens Alaska, the USA should be getting ready to defend it.
Not sending everything to Ukraine.
Do you remember right before the war when Russia mocked the West for being “paranoid” and “crazy” in believing Russia would attack Ukraine?
Well, the West’s assumptions turned out to be true didn’t they? Russia did indeed attack Ukraine - even though we were called “paranoids” for rightfully and openly warning about it.
Here is a video of Russians deceit in full display :

What is there to “conserve” at this point.
Are we to conserve gay marriage?
Homosexuals adopting children ?
Open borders ?
Abortion ?
Teenage gender transitioning ?
Anti-whiteness ?
De-industrialization?
Fentynal addiction ?
Decline of Christianity?
Unsustainable debt?
What is the point of “conservatism” when there is nothing worthy left to conserve ?
“Damn the torpedoes, the world just needs to go for it. And they are.”
There is much truth in that.
Our feckless leaders have screwed things up so badly that now there is a void where once we were the main player; and others — none of whom are our friends — are rushing in to fill it.
Interesting times ahead.
“Every country in the West is being invaded NOW !”
Yeah; but we haven’t collapsed; which is what you’re hysterical about.
“Where you been ?”
Right here, Rev; right here. And I’m not going anywhere. I don’t believe in surrenders, Rev; I’m just not wired that way; it’s not in my DNA. I will never abandon my country, and my home; I love them too much, warts and all.
“You are truly a paranoid kook”
Am I ?
The church burnings are starting again.

Not only that. If you search on Yahoo News, you won’t find the story. They are suppressing the results (Google did have it).
But, yeah, I am the paranoid one.
The question was, if you are against conservatism because it is the problem, then what are the beliefs of conservatism that you would make sure are discarded in your future world?
Not hysterical. But I am hopeful.
No reform is possible under the Current Regime.
But after they Fall, much more is possible.
The downside is they will wreck a lot more before they crash.
Look at the University Presidents we saw this week. The elite institutions of the country as so decayed that them collapsing is little loss.
“...then what are the beliefs of conservatism that you would make sure are discarded in your future world? “
Everything based on Modernity.
“What is there to “conserve” at this point.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
America will find a way to conquer its problems, with a Reagan mindset “peace through strength”. It will come in due time, maybe with Trump.
Many of the issues you listed are present in Russia as well.
That doesn’t stop them from wanting to devour the world though, via expansionism.
We on the other hand tend to willingly drown in our own negativism, and isolate ourselves.
America will resurrect its greatness in a spectacular way at the right time, and at the perfect moment. Timing is everything!
You say that conservatism is the problem and that you will discard it so that your new world will be better but you keep refusing to say what the conservative beliefs are that are the problems and why conservatism needs to be defeated.
Speak up, what are the beliefs of conservatism that need to be defeated?
The self loathing is palpable.
Invading Ukraine is a vast magnitude different than invading the US.
“Speak up, what are the beliefs of conservatism that need to be defeated? “
Everything based on Modernity.
Nothing current “conservatism” represents is anything other than Leftism from ~20 years ago.
(less than 20 perhaps, because 20 years ago even Democrat liberals were opposed to gay marriage.)
That is gibberish, you have no idea what all your vague and undefined conspiracies and nutty statements are about.
