Then Limp-wristed Lindsey should help impeach Obama and Biden and then resign.

We bought it, fair and square...................that receipt must be laying around somewhere.................

It's in the drawer with the receipt for the land we bought from Mexico.

I have seen the canceled check and William Seward's desk which at one time were on loan to the Alaska State Museum in Juneau. No refunds, Ivan.

If ANYONE could lose Alaska to the Russians... Obama certainly could...

Heck, Putin could lose the state of Nebraska to Liechtenstein...

The way things are going, being a colony of Liechtenstein is looking pretty good....at least they have low taxes.

Keep Alaska.
Give Putin California, Illinois, and NYS.

He did something wrong: projecting weakness.

Uh... yeah. As someone who lives about 80 miles from the shore of the Bering Sea, I hate to inform the Russians that any occupation would be house-to-house combat. And everyone, and I mean everyone, knows how to shoot a rifle, and some of us are really good shots (which is why many of my students move on to careers as Army Rangers or Marines). And the antimissile batteries are at Ft. Greeley. And there are a bunch of Air Force and Army bases around the state. So good luck to the Russians.

He didn’t project weakness, he highlighted Obama’s weakness, which I’m pretty sure Putin has already noticed.

...and what would Lindsey do if Putin did come across the Bering Strait??

He'd piss in his pants, curl into the fetal position and start sucking his thumb...not a real strong response..

“I just hope we don’t lose Alaska”

Not funny.

The Russians have said, on the record, that they want it back. That was years ago, but they've never, to my knowledge, taken back that statement.

Now someone will prove me wrong, and I'll be relieved at least.

Isn’t the State Flag of California based on Russian flag design elements? White field. Bar at the bottom. Star in the corner?
