UNCOVERED: Obama to give oil-rich Alaskan (United States) islands, billions of barrels of oil, to Russia...

The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy. The state of Alaska was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, nor was the public given any opportunity for comment. This is despite the fact the Alaska Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition – but the State Department doesn’t seem to care.
The seven endangered islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabeds surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.
We won the Cold War and should start acting like it.

As I recall “agreements” between nations are called “Treaties” and treaties entered into by the United States must be ratified by the Senate in order to be valid and enforceable.

Treason? No. He'd have to be an American for it to be treason.

I'd say espionage!

Well one thing is certain. If the Russians own this oil, then it is more likely to end up in your gas tank than if Obama controls it.

Has there been an independent news source verifying this? Is this U.S. Territory?

This has been posted and debunked countless times. These islands are off the coast of Siberia and nowhere near Alaska. They have been occupied by the Russians since at least the 1920s and the US has NEVER made any formal claim over them.

This has been posted (and debunked) on FR many times.

1) The islands are not and never were part of Alaska, they were not included in the purchase of Alaska.

2) The U.S. has never actually claimed the islands. Russia claimed the islands back under the Tzars.

3) The treaty on the maritime border was negotiated in 1990 and ratified by the Senate and signed by President Bush in 1991.

A map of the islands:

Thanks, should have figured if WND was the source it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Not the first time! Wern’t the WRANGEL ISLANDS once US territory? Did not the Soviets invade, killing several Americans and FDR eventually give up the islands to them?

The sad thing is IF the islands were ours and IF obama wanted to give them to the Russians, for some reason, he’d be allowed to do it even though they’re not his to give. And not one republican would object.

Definitely ~ oil bearing land in the hands of the Russians will be drilled and tapped.

No, Wrangel Island, which is off the coast of Siberia was never US territory and was never occupied by the US. Unfortunately, it is often confused with Wrangell Island, which is in the Alaskan panhandle.
