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.

Well, at least the Russians have been evicted from North America and they won’t be coming back.
Let’s put one of our Congressional idiots up for comparison on their random comments - say, Linda Graham.
People give nutters WAY too much ‘gravitas’.
BS
Please feel free to demonstrate where what I said was a factual lie.
This would entail you demonstrating Ukraine was not a corrupt government and was not involved in Biden bribery schemes as well demonstrating the US did not have funded bio labs in Ukraine.
I will wait for your evidence.

Right, and the US is building special drones that can release infected mosquitoes far behind enemy lines as a new type of bio weapon to be used against Russian soldiers.
Russian Propaganda for Gullible Idiots
UN represents even more countries. What does that mean?
Sure, NATO can expand and they have, but is it really in our best interests and does it make NATO more “secure”?
Finland is a great addition as Sweden will be.
“Try” being the keyword in context.
Is Biden continuing to partner with Putin to nuke up Iran part of this “proxy war”? Obviously, not. There is no proxy war here. What we have is another Russian colonialist war of choice opposed by Ukraine and its allies. Many countries supporting Ukraine have shared history of mass murder and genocide at the hands of the Muscovite Kremlin. Therefore, it should not be a surprise they have no interest in again being slaves in the Russian World.
Let's get rid of Biden first okay?
You dummies sold it to William H. Seward.
“”It is high time to put an end to Russia.”
Let’s get rid of Biden first okay?”
Lets get rid of Putin this year and next year we get rid of Biden.
Given your post’s attempt to smear by introducing a strawman argument I am not seeing much more reason to engage with you.
I will provide this as food for thought. You are defending the same US government operatives and media narrative that told you covid was not made in a lab, that told you the US was not funding gain of function research in China and that said masks work.. All of which was proven to be lies on a massive scale.
Now they tell you those labs were not bio labs, just that we were helping Ukraine do medical research and you jump at the chance to proselytize for them.
Regardless of all that did you forget about the entire Biden crime family and bribes much originating in Ukraine? Guess that has no bearing on why Biden started this whole mess.
We can multitask.
Good points. But to invade Alaska Russia needs to get the forces there. They have a lot of airborne troops. But no way to move armored units across the seas. Russia is a land power. This would require Sea Power. In this the US has no equals. Much is made of China’s large number of vessels. Its mostly coastal vessels. Only the US has serious force projection. Though RATs are working hard to demoralize and destroy its effectiveness.
Of course with nukes its all academic.
Heck, the way the US Government manages the US Economy, the US National Debt and the the US Dollar's stability and value, ... in a couple of decades any old Russian will be able to buy Alaska at the bankruptcy auction.
Of course a Kremlin official might just know this.
As I mentioned earlier, until defenders reconcile both the Biden Burisma bribery and corruption and the Bio labs in Ukraine, the notion that this whole war is Russian colonialism to regain the old USSR back is at best naive.
Supporting Ukraine government in this war is not noble, it is supporting another very copout globalist structure and only hurts the common man. Russia is also no a good actor in this, the only winning move is supporting the people caught in the middle.
This whole conflict is a way to pit the average person against his neighbor or fool him into supporting a war against his own interests.
