    Russian state TV presenter has said that Alaska belongs to Russia, reviving an effort pushed by propagandists throughout the war in Ukraine that Moscow could seize the U.S. state.

    During a broadcast of the Russia-1 program 60 Minutes, propagandist Olga Skabeyeva referred to the U.S. state as “our Alaska”, Agentstvo, an investigative Russian site, reported on Sunday.

  2. That is what you get by appeasing Putin’s ass and by forbidding usage of US weaponry on Russians. 1st Ukraine, then Moldova, Alaska is 3rd. Congratulations!

  3. Alaskans: if Trump becomes the President (for life, is his goal), there is a very real chance Alaska would be sold to Russia… Or China through Russia.

    It sounds completely preposterous idea. So did Jan 6 insurrcetionists boots on congress desks.

  4. Trump will sell the state and your soul for a couple of bucks.

  5. This is just to boost morale inside Russia and distract from losing the Black Sea fleet. It’s about as serious as a five year old talking about winning a MMA championship.

  7. Hahahaha the polar bears could defend Alaska against Russian aggression.

  8. They’ve been doing this. It’s not “ominous”. There is nothing they can do. They would be afraid to trigger Poland at this point, let alone the United States. They muse about turning the West into a nuclear ash pile pretty much every night. It means nothing, and it’s entirely geared towards telling the zombified audiences how great and strong they are. Russia has been living in the shadows of WWII “glories” since, well – WWII.

  10. If they tired it would be Desert Storm 2.0 hell the Iraqis of 1991 might be more competent

  11. this is intended for their domestic audience to rally their fanatic asses

  12. Yes, they are so stupid that get lost in their own narratives. It’s not the first case when they air fake news from “wrong” contingency plan. They once congratulated Trump before election results were published 🤣

  13. [checks notes]

    It’s been about 8,000 years since you could walk, and about 150 since you sold it so you could focus on other things. And you didn’t hold (or even know about) it for about 7900 of those 8000.

    So…say what?

  14. Russia is always acting like they want to be The USA. They want our tech out clothes our food our toilets and now they want back Alaska…. LoL That will never happen in a million years. Putin always acting like the bully but is a small man himself. In America we call this little man syndrome or liquid courage

  16. Canadian here, both countries can fuck off, that’s ours when the US dissolves.
