Russian Officials Threaten To Reclaim Alaska After U.S. Sanctions By Biden

This week Russian officials warned that Russia might seek to reclaim Alaska from the United States in retaliation for Biden’s continued sanctions related to the invasion of Ukraine.

On Wednesday, during a parliamentary session in Moscow, Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the State Duma, cautioned the U.S. to think twice before seizing or freezing Russian assets abroad. The top Russian official reminded the U.S. that Alaska once belonged to Russia, and the Kremlin may want the land back.

Well, this could get interesting.

Imagine the response Trump would give to a comment like that.

@carpediem Would Trump have gotten is into this, though, or would he have cut a deal for his own political benefit?

I get where Trump postured about America First, but isn't a part of that cutting a deal where everyone, including the negotiators get a little extra on the side

If Trump's purely transactional self interested view of the world is your thing, could this hypothetical question even arise?

That's Biden's MO - Not Trump

@MistyCee I have to laugh. Your comment is silly. Everything has to have a spin of "Trump bad" doesn't it. All the while, Biden is selling oil from the SOR to China. Didn't China pay off his kid for access? 🤔 Do you really want to go down this path, or accept my comment in lighthearted spirit it was presented.

@Budwick And there's documentation out there to validate it. Nothing but speculation and BS from the other side. Sad life they live.

MistyCee

@Budwick Whether Biden did it or not, really, imo, seems irrelevant to whether Trump said:

“I would like you to do us a favor, though”

I'm not defending Biden here, but saying thats not Trump's MO seems pretty iffy.

@MistyCee Give it a rest Misty.

@Budwick The poor kid has Trump dominating her every thought. Must be scary in that head.

MistyCee

@carpediem I really get bored with going too far down any paths here.

The thing is, I'll give you, of Trump was still President, we probably would never have heard stuff like threats of taking back Alaska by force

Why, is another question, but I think asking the question you did could open up that question, and tbh, I really don't want to go back there.

@MistyCee It's phenomenon that might seem foreign to you, so I guess it's my fault and I certainly apologize. It's called... A JOKE. That's something people often do for light hearted enjoyment. It's designed to create something possibly equally as strange...LAUGHTER.

@MistyCee

tbh, I really don't want to go back there.

But, you did.
It's disingenuous things like this that cause my eyes to roll when reading what you write.

MistyCee

@carpediem Forgive me for hearting your comment instead of putting up a laughing emoji, please.

I did laugh, I promise.

MistyCee

@Budwick Blame it on TDS. Or me. Either way, I hope I didn't spoil any fun.

@MistyCee The Russians know that Trump has a set of stones. That"s why the Russians wouldn't mention anything like that. The Russians also that this Idiot doesn't have any brains, let alone a set of stones.

MistyCee

@thedarkside Who has control of Trump's Stones though?

Biden's may be shriveled, and maybe that's even a good thing.
