Putin wants Alaska back




Offering his hard-right ultranationalist base something new to cheer about, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the 1867 sale of Alaska to the United States illegal.
Alaska is now a territory of the Russian people, currently suffering a hostile occupation by the United States, according to a new decree by Vladimir Putin. Giving in to his base and winning a few points at home, Putin is claiming territory in Europe, Asia, Scandinavia, and Alaska.
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.

Not our friend, but not our enemy either

But go ahead and do a preemptive strike over a symbolic decree about shaky real estate property law
One of the most corrupt authoritarian countries in the world, not our enemy? Ok Tankie

We don't make enemies over corruption and authoritarianism, otherwise we have to commit suicide

We make enemies over competition for resources and power

We are an enemy to every other nation on the planet. It's what happens when you're on top

Putin can get in line

The real enemies are China and Saudi Arabia
You have shown an obvious soft spot for Putin/Russia ever since Putin went team Trump.

objection. given that alaska is recognized as part of the United States this would, in fact, be our problem.

So you hate Alaska as much as you Hate Ukraine? And you like the Russians, correct? I personally think Alaska is quite wonderful. Beautiful place. I’d love to go there again.
