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.

One day native Americans could claim back North America.

Yes its just trash talk because of Ukrania.
“But first they need a competent military and a LOT more force projection than they apparently have.”
Don’t be swayed that Russia is not formitable as they are. Reading the Ukraine incident is not what Russia can really do. They are aware of the fact that for them to make any effort to face off with the US there will be far more than bang bang poke poke. And they are almost as well inventoried as we are and in some areas better.
But just remember how fine the line is. Each country is capable of destroying the world many times...it only takes one.

With Trump we were looking to purchase Greenland. With Biden there are talks of losing Alaska..
“Lots of people tried to put an end to Russia”
And it’s about time someone succeeded.
Alaska could never be conquered.
There is an armada of rainbow flags protecting it!
;-)
Does ICC have bigger military than Russia?
If not it is just hot air. Laws and rules and regulations are just hot air without power to enforce.
Attacking Russia has been the end of a bunch of empires.
It looks like we may be next on the long list.
“One day native Americans could claim back North America.”
And they can start by telling Russia to go to Hell.
Says the guy whose Lord and Master STARTED A WAR.
Stop dreaming of conquering Afghanistan, Russia & China.
For 3 separate reasons, all 3 are unconquerable.
“Attacking Russia has been the end of a bunch of empires.”
Indeed. Most notably the two empires that ended were the Russian Empire and the Soviet Empire.
Now we need to put an end to the reign of Tsar Putin and his Oligarch Empire.
“looking to purchase Greenland.”
that’s right .. I forgot about that.
What a swing in position...policy
Looks like we are giving the southwest to mexico now too ...
so there’s that....
I don’t want to see Russia conquered. I want it eradicated.
Why would they do that? Russians did not massacre native Americans.
Red China thanks you for all your support.
How?
