FUBO! Bye bye Oil!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Might as well give Russia & China a Grant Deed to the USA as “tenants-in-common”

[Candor7]

PING to Obama treason. Gross Alaska snub.

I’m almost afraid to click on these links. It’s one nightmare after the next.

This myth made it to the Washington Times?

We’ve been reading about it Free Republic since the mid-years of George Bush.

This is bad news for Alaskans, and a war cry to Sarah Palin. She should be running for the presidencey. Bad mistake for her IMHO.

[Marathoner]

Good GOD Almighty, is there NOONE on our side with the balls to go after the Regime on this kind of stuff??? Treason if I ever saw it.

[Evil Slayer]

Paging Governor Sarah Palin. Wait....she’s not governor anymore. Rats!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

54’ 40 or Fight!!!

[Candor7]

The problem is that now , we have an idiot in the oval orifice who might just do it.

A trade to O’s communist cousins for access to Afghanistan through Azerbaijan?

Can it be done without an act of Congress? Are the islands inhabited by US citizens?

Quietly, State Dept. Turns Over American Islands to Russia, Others

Look at the Map folks! These islands really never belonged to us anyway! This is just WND nonsense.

[org.whodat]

Seeing the location, I do not see how we could have claimed them from the beginning.

[SunkenCiv]

Sure, but it hasn’t appeared since way last month. ;’)

[Cheburashka]

1) The islands are not and never were part of Alaska, they were not included in the purchase of Alaska.

2) The U.S. has never actually claimed the islands. Russia claimed the islands back under the Tzars.

3) The treaty on the maritime border was negotiated in 1990 and ratified by the Senate and signed by President Bush in 1991.

A map of the islands:

Where is the “Not this $**t again” icon with the guy slapping his head? LOL

[org.whodat]

Dang if I had look to see it was crap from WND I would have never bother to look up the location. In the winter months you could ride a snow mobile to the islands from Russian.

[Josephat]

Don’t count her out.
