Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a new decree relating to Moscow's historic real estate holdings abroad, a move interpreted by ultranationalist bloggers as a foundation for future revanchism against Russia's neighbors—and even the U.S.
The decree, signed by the president late last week, allocates funds for the search, registration, and legal protection of Russian property abroad, including property in the former territories of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.
This would include Alaska, swathes of eastern and central Europe, large chunks of central Asia, and parts of Scandinavia.
Russia's Foreign Ministry and its presidential administration's Foreign Property Management Enterprise are directed to carry out the work, ordered to find, register, and protect "property" in question.

"The Kremlin may use the 'protection' of its claimed property in countries outside of its internationally recognized borders to forward soft power mechanisms in post-Soviet and neighboring states ultimately aimed at internal destabilization."
One prominent ultranationalist, pro-war military blogger framed the decree as a step towards new territorial conflicts with Russian neighbors, including the U.S.
"We suggest starting with Alaska," the Two Majors Telegram channel—which has more than 530,000 subscribers—wrote. Beyond that, the blogger wrote that the Kremlin should look to "Dnieper Ukraine, Bessarabia, the Grand Duchy of Finland, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, the Central Asian states of Russian Turkestan, most of the Baltic provinces, and a significant part of Poland."

Russia to allocate funds for search of Soviet, Imperial Russian property abroad
So are some of you anti-Ukraine posters ready to give Alaska back to the Muscovites?
I, for one, welcome our Russian overlords.
From the Alaskan residents alone there’s probably 10x more firearms and 50x more ammo that any number of Russian Soldiers that might (unfortunately for them) end up on the shores.
Can we give him Hawaii instead?
He can’t handle Ukraine and now he’s got his eyes on Alaska?
It depends on what is meant. Does he mean the land or do they mean the stolen wealth, like the Amber Room.
Alaska was not stolen. It was sold for a pittance because it was deemed worthless by the government of the day.
Long term, he can’t hold onto Siberia.
China wants its land back.
Can we give him Hawaii instead?

LOLOL
Good trade (as indigenous americans used to say)
Too much vodka on chilly Russian days.
The Finns and Swedes are in no mood for this nonsense. They see it coming a mile away.
I’ve also studied the Japanese incursion into the Aleutians. That didn’t end well, either.
The Russians are having a hard enough time in Ukraine. If they opened up one or even two additional theaters, the women of Russia would storm the Kremlin and cut Putin’s balls off.
I doubt that Putin is serious about invading Alaska; but he wouldn’t be saying things like this if the Obama/Biden regimes hadn’t made a needless enemy out of Russia.
I’m more concerned over the crack in my sidewalk than Russia taking over Alaska.
You are truly pathetic.
Ukraine/Russia War
The Obama administration meddling in Ukraine, as well as the pay to play/Politicians and party kick back schemes, have put the world in a precarious position. Putin should not have invaded, it just made it all worse. Once again, two wrongs didn’t fix anything, and just regular people get killed.
Stupid War, Stupid Prizes.
What else do you know of Putin’s mind?
Putin has in the past claimed that Alaska was sold illegally and should there fore be apart of Russia. This man is very dangerous and he does not respect anything or anybody else.
They’re slowly moving across the Russian border. Little by little. The Rooskies just don’t have the population to stop it. China’s population crash hasn’t really started yet.
Go for it Putin! A two front war for you is a brilliant idea. I dare you.
Yaaaay! Zeeper propaganda crap post of the day award to Timber snooky! Congratulations for keeping Putinistas at Bay!
From what we read the guy was suffering from all kinds of illnesses. How is he still walking ? Must be the deer antler blood he bathes in.
