You know I used to kinda like Russians back when they were behaving, back before they starting showing the world just how batshit crazy they really are. You would think that after Ukraine still fighting after 136 days into a 3 day war they would rein in their ego’s a little but nooooo…
‘Alaska Is Ours!’ Billboards Appear in Russia After Threat to Reclaim State
Multiple billboards bearing the slogan surprised residents in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk after being spotted on Thursday, according to Krasnoyarsk news agency NGS24. One day earlier, Putin ally and State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin suggested that Russia could “take back” Alaska in retaliation for economic sanctions imposed on Russia following the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
We have a few members here who will be in soon to say that the Russians are right, and that all who disagree need to open their eyes and are victims of the MSM/Jewish Nazi cabal.
Their propaganda plays well to a population that isn’t aware of the historical fact that we bought Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million in 1867. A treaty was signed fer cryin out loud.
The Russian population has had the history hidden from them. I bet half of America doesn’t even know how we got Alaska.
Anyhow, the deal paid off pretty well just in terms of gold and oil.
You keep beating that drum. What did people here write that bothered you so much?
What sources of information do you consider legitimate and illegitimate?
The problem I have is that I distrust main stream sources more than secondary sources now. I find myself thinking Fox is driven by sensationalism for profit and all the other main stream news outlets, including US main stream TV news, local news stations, the majority of news papers, AP, Reuters, and BBC, are run by and filled with university-borne activists who are essentially propagandists for the far left- with a dab of sensationalism for profit on top.
On the thread topic, misunderstanding or not, I’m sure I’m not the only person who has imagined Alaska being vulnerable to Russia were we to continue running our military and economy into the ground. There’s a lot of natural resources there.
Ooh, I’m calling a friend in Soldotna. I’ll head up there just in case the Russians attack. You know, ready to do my part to beat back the filthy Ivans.
I may look like I’m fishing, but I’m just covertly monitoring the Inland waterways. You know, for America.
Holy cannoli, Batman. We have people on this site that are too dim-witted to comprehend it’s a joke making fun of people who think SOCOM is running 5” 5.56 guns for combat.
