So what if Putin says he wants Alaska back?

Posted on 03/22/2014 11:02:22 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Just wondering what would happen....never say never, right? How tepid would the USA react?

What if Putin said he just wanted "this island" of Alaska's, or "that small region"?

He might say Peter the Great did not represent the will of the Russian people when he sold the land to William Seward on behalf of the United States....

What would the nation do? What would the regime do? What would you do?

The Mexicans want “Atzlan” back and they are succeeding. They have invaded us, not with their army, but an invasion just the same. Once here, they reproduce at an alarming rate, demand that the citizens pay for their education, healthcare and other welfare. They have protests and wave the Mexican flag.
They get people like Obama elected.

In the end, you might have just ‘Vermont’ controlled and operated from the autonomous republic of White House.

600k rifles in a land nearly impassible for armor, and weather that is rarely acceptable for rotor wing aircraft for more than a week at any given time.

Putin’s been in office 13 years? I think if he was going for total world domination he would have stated sooner...

I’d be a lot more concerned about Mexico taking the southwest back.

Thanks for injecting a little reality...

When this all started I first thought of what if the Mexicans wanted Texas back. But then a more apt parallel would be Russia and Alaska - thanks for posting!

(And don’t remind anyone about Manhattan - they might start getting ideas.)

If Russia wants Alaska back we would cross that bridge when we get to it but its not a remotely realistic fantasy at this point. Sure there are people of Russian ancestry there but they are mostly their because they fled Russian oppression over many generations.

Meanwhile we have generations of illegals throughout the country, most of which we won’t be able to get rid of, demanding ever more special rights.

Apparently we’re so busy protecting the world from itself that we forget to protect ourselves from the world.
