Kremlin official suggests Russia could one day try to reclaim Alaska from the US
Business insider ^ | July 7 2022 | Cheryl Teh

Posted on 06/19/2023 8:40:07 AM PDT by amnestynone

A Russian official this week threatened the US over the freezing of Russian assets, urging it to remember that Alaska was once part of Russia's territory.

"Let America always remember: there is a part of its territory that is Russia — Alaska," Vyacheslav Volodin, a Putin ally and speaker of the Russian parliament's lower house, said on Wednesday, according to multiple media outlets.

"When they attempt to appropriate our assets abroad, they should be aware that we also have something to claim back," Volodin added.

In other hawkish comments made on Wednesday, Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy secretary of Russia's Security Council, posted a long tirade on Telegram in which he slammed "any attempts to create tribunals or courts" to investigate Russia's actions in Ukraine.

"It won't work with Russia, they know it well," Medvedev wrote. "That's why the rotten dogs of war are barking in such a disgusting way."

Warning that it would be "absurd" to try to "punish a country with the largest nuclear potential," Medvedev also slammed the US for attempting to "spread chaos and destruction across the world for the sake of 'true democracy.'

"The entire US history since the times of subjugation of the native Indian population represents a series of bloody wars," Medvedev wrote, referencing other US actions such as its bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II and its involvement in the Vietnam War.

"Was anyone held responsible for those crimes? What tribunal condemned the sea of blood spilled by the U.S. there?" Medvedev asked.

Medvedev's comments were not the first time the Russians threatened Ukraine's allies with nuclear warfare. In May, a Russian propagandist warned that a nuclear strike could wipe out the UK and Ireland.

The same applies to the original English colonists who formed the American Republic. Very mixed people today compared to then. Even compared to the 1950s. The largest wave of immigration to the USA is ongoing these past 2 decades, with no signs of stopping. Few Europeans make up this crowd of humanity.

Russia’s population is shrinking, because the replacement rate is dropping. The USA is in the same situation, with very low birth rates, however, the huge number—millions of legal and illegal immigrants every year—has our numbers growing up and up.

Also, learn more about what the Nazis believed. There’s a lot of pretend Nazis, who would be outcasts in 1935 Germany.

The real Nazis where crushed and defeated in 1945. Now people like to say anything that reminds them (and that is VERY selective) of the real Nazis is a Nazi.

Trump supporters and American conservatives are called Nazis by the Woke Left all the time, but have yet to take a real look in a mirror. Still, I wouldn’t call them Nazis. That’s dead. They’re something new and different. Bad, but not Nazis.

My point is it is insulting to our fathers—Soviet, British and Americans— who actually fought and defeated the real Nazis.

If you don’t think Ivan here is a Russian troll just look one of his last posts below. He obviously possesses a Russian accent and can’t even speak or write decent English. He is unlike Delta7, Kazan, ganemead and some of the other trolls at the Russian FSB who are in my opinion the same people as their posts are so similar. They need to take him in hand and give him some more training. No wondr Russia is getting beat.

“Chukchas became a subjects of Empire so defended by law. They could travel whole Empire and their business, their rights, lands and properties were preserved by same law as any other subjects. Russia always installed equality and mutuality on joined lands and people.

But Alaska, Hawaii and Northern California were only colonies of Russia. They wasn’t joined to Empire. That is why Russia sold them later. If it was an imperial lands then sale wouldn’t possible.”

My English is better than your Russian. Meaning I’m better educated and have wider perspective than you.

You are one of the most challenged individuals on this forum.

The people of the Ukraine are doing the fighting you ignorant
slob. We’re spending less than $100 billion per year to
keep this from expanding into something that would be costing
us trillions per year.

Russian officials have addressed Moldova, Poland, Latvia,
Estonia, Finland, Sweden, and now Alaska as places they
want or want back.

As for child-sex trafficking, where were you two years ago
on that topic in relation to the Ukraine? Where are you
now as Russia absconds with Ukrainian children across
international borders?

I’m not committing myself to the battle you half-wit,
because all the Ukraine has asked us to do is supply
weapons and funding.

Hypocrisy? Do you even know the meaning of the word? If I
advocated other U. S. citizens to go, and then failed to go
myself, that would be hypocrisy. And that’s exactly what
you are doing. So when are you leaving to fight on the
side of Russia? Inquiring minds would like to know.

As far as pigs go, I don’t squeal like one, and what’s more
I don’t act like one, like someone I could mention.

Yes you have a perspective that no one outside of Russia has. I guess that might be considered wise IN RUSSIA.

Challenging. Because I call out your globalist propaganda horseshit.

Somehow a nation that literally has to snatch people off the street and press gang them into it’s army and then sends that army drunk and with barely any training into battle isn’t something I’d worry about.

The Russian military has shown itself to be nothing more than a bunch of bums with guns.

Wow, that was so impressive.

I shot down every point you made, and you come back with that
disaster. Thanks.

Just to let everyone here know that you’re outraged not by MeganC’s comment about wanting the extermination of 150 million Russians, but by my comment calling out the lies of your comrades.

You are the one not outraged about Scott Ritter saying Ukrainians should be shot like rabid dogs meanwhile I told you I only post for myself.

And just to let everyone know: you fanatically claim Russia did not invade Ukraine.

I asked you to locate any posts where I agreed with Ritter's comment. You couldn't. One more lie.

"meanwhile I told you I only post for myself."

Another lie. You were defending your nutter clique from my "allegation." As soon as I easily proved the evil, Malthusian agenda of your comrades, you cowardly (and falsely) pulled back to claim you only speak for yourself. If I could not have substantiated my fact about your clique, you would be "heroically" standing cheek to jowl with them. These are your peeps, you talk to them, you agree with them, you attack like them, you propagandize like them. All the same talking points and attacks.

It's remarkable how you fail to expect me to respond that you can't show me agreeing with your person's Russia post. How is it possible that your reasoning is this shabby??

No actually I simply asked you to provide a link because you make up crazy stuff like Russia did not invade Ukraine. I doubt anyone in your life takes your word.

If we can toss in Senator Lisa Murkowski, I might be for it.

You made -- wait for it -- another false (lie) assumption, again. You demand I show you proof of your comrade's ghastly comments, which I did. But you can't do the same for me when I ask you to prove where I support indiscriminate murder of Ukrainians. If I supported the latter, I'd be supporting Zelensky, since he's doing a fine job at murdering his subjects en masse.

"No actually I simply asked you to provide a link because you make up crazy stuff like Russia did not invade Ukraine. I doubt anyone in your life takes your word."

And you've been asked many simple questions, usually dodging, ignoring or engaging in personal attacks because you cannot win the argument to support your position. If you want to take a poll on FR which one of us has more respect, I'll remind you of that poll from last year where your side managed to drum up only 7% for your cause. It is nowhere near as popular a position today as it was then.

Hello guy likely having a stroke... You are the one pinning killings on me because of what someone else posted. I then pointed out how Ritter on your side called for killings. Yet you have special rules. Anything else is you having a stroke from fits while you toss lie after lie.
