The State Department on Monday brushed off reports of Russian President Vladimir Putin ordering his government to look into the nation’s former “real estate” abroad, saying Alaska would be staying in American hands.
Putin signed a new decree last week to allocate funds for the research and registration of Russian property overseas, including that in former territories of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union, Russian state media TASS reported.
The decree, which comes amid Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, did not specifically mention Alaska, though it caught the attention of military bloggers, who argued Putin was using the decree to declare the 1867 Russian sale of the Last Frontier State to the U.S. is illegal.
“Well, I think I can speak for all of us in the U.S. government to say that certainly he’s not getting it back,” State Department principal deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said during a Monday press briefing, prompting laughter from his audience.

So how is it a false flag when Putin actually did sign that Executive Order and it was announced in TASS?
MOSCOW, January 19. /TASS/.
Russia will allocate funds for an effort to find, register and ensure legal protection of Russia’s property abroad, including property of the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire.
A relevant decree, signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, will allocate funds for the purpose to the Department of Foreign Property of the Administrative Directorate of the President of the Russian Federation.
The funds will be allocated to cover expenses related to "the process of searching the real estate property owned by the Russian Federation, the former Russian Empire, the former USSR," as well as for "due registration of [property] rights" and "legal protection of this property."
Another decree allocates funds to cover the department’s expenses for maintaining and using Russia’s federal property abroad.
Is Putin in on this "false flag"?
Don’t forget about California and Hawaii! The Russians have been trying weasel both territories for themselves for two hundred years. Don’t sell this revanchist Soviet effort short. We need to attack Vladivostok NOW before the commies use it as a base to occupy the entire Pacific coast of North America. Hah, hah, hah, great fun taking off to the races with you Russia, Russia, Russia crazies.
California? But only if he promises to build a Berlin style border wall!
So Russia want the territory back we paid themfor and I suppose the French will be asking for us to return the Louisiana Purchase and Mexico asking us to return Texas and most of the Southwest States to them. Of course Joe might do that as I believe he hates the United States and that’s why he is doing his best to destroy it.
It’s a false flag because there is 0 chance Alaska will be returned to Russia
Palin
“After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama’s reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia’s Putin to invade Ukraine next,” said Palin.
Foreign Policy Magazine’s response
“A blog post from American magazine Foreign Policy described such a scenario as “extremely far-fetched”, noting that Russia already held significant influence over Ukraine (presumably in the form of now ousted President Viktor Yanukovych) and that the magazine “didn’t see why violence would be necessary to bring Kiev to heel.”
So Brave!
And, if an Alaska invasion is such a threat, it's all the more reason to stop spending a penny on Ukraine and redirect our military assets and spending to the Alaskan border!
Look up the word “aftermath” sport. 1867 is shortly after 1856. The war left them deep in debt. And the war showed him Russia was in no position to defend Alaska if the British Empire attacked from Canada. So by selling to us, he hoped to get a barrier between Russia and the Brit obsession of going after Russia.
And the meetings were already happening in 1859. Things were postponed during the US Civil War. And the Czar sent his fleet to protect America from a potential British attack.
Lots was happening back then.
And they posted this one a couple of times yesterday, too. It’s becoming like the egg prices. 😄
I think I hear crickets chirping…. 😇
Give him Murkowski instead.
Uh, this new story originated from a State Department press conference held THIS MORNING at Foggy Bottom.
Yes, this is a good example of the life of a zeeper!
The lame stream media is treated as the voice of this country. Not much difference between them and Stalin, or Goebbels.
Reeeeeeeeee Reeeeeeeeeee…!
