Is this the most threatening thing they can come up with in response to sanctions?
As my grandfather would have said, “want in one hand, [excrete] in the other, see which one fills up first”. (Yes, he used a term that would get bleeped on network TV.)
Are there any other links to that article? I can’t read it with my adblocker and I’m certainly not disabling it for foxnews.
Without reading it, the possibility of Russia invading the US certainly seems like something to be concerned about. Even if you don’t think they can win, I’d still prefer they didn’t start bombing dense civilian areas in North America.
The comments on that article are just… precious.
I wish outrageous statements by single members of legislative bodies were mostly ignored by media. At least wait until they make the effort to put forward legislation, spreading every hyperbolic statement made in an interview pollutes the information landscape.
No, Russia is not demanding Alaska back. A single representative from the Russian Duma suggested that approach in an interview. While I don’t doubt he’d have the support in the Duma if Putin wanted it, it’s not news worth spreading far and wide until several more steps are made to make it real.
I agree, this legislator is like the Russian version of Marjorie Taylor-Greene, and we’d hate for MTG to be published worldwide as some sort of representative voice on behalf of America.
Russia wants Alaska back
Good luck with that. 
There’s non-Ad Required copies on the Fox affiliate websites
I’m all for giving Sarah Palin to Russia if that’ll help things.
Hey, if they’re going to use Madison Crawford’s dumbshit ramblings as war propaganda, we should at least be able to laugh at their wackos.
They’re already getting spanked, hard, trying to invade Ukraine, which is much smaller and shares a land border with developed regions of Russia. Trying to invade Alaska would be sheer lunacy.
I wonder if Vladimir Zhirinovsky put him up to it:
Sure. I’d just prefer it was spread as “dumbshit wacko says” instead of “Russia wants Alaska back”.
There is nothing at Fort Ross except a rebuilt building. As for Alaska, can we sell it back to them for $7.2M adjusted for inflation since 1867? That would be right around $140B.
I thought it would be obvious.
You didn’t include any of that information in your OP. You didn’t even include the title to the article, which was unusually correct for such good clickbait. It took two replies before someone let your subject line and information free OP influence their opinion. Not likely by much, but there’s a reason social media platforms like twitter have added features to encourage people to read articles before they share them. Things go viral and lots of people are significantly influenced by misinforming headlines, even when they see them due to people reposting them for lulz.
I look at it this way: This sort of outlandish desperation indicates that the sanctions are working.
Calm down, you’re going to bust something.
Tweeeet!
OK, stop being meta about the thread and arguing about it.
It is a poor OP. So poor I think we’ll close this train wreck.
@Naita, next time report the OP please.
@carnivorousplant please make a more descriptive title and more of an OP. If you feel it is breaking news, then try MPSIMS instead. But still more of an OP please.
