Putin Builds Naval and Army Base on Wrangell Island – Owned By the US
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 1/26/15 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 01/26/2015 4:54:31 PM PST by Nachum

In May 1881 US explorers approached Jeannette Island, Wrangell Island and Henrietta Island in the Arctic Ocean and claimed them for the United States.

But according to the Obama Department of State no claim exists today over these US islands. In fact the State Department is conspiring with Russian President Putin to give away Wrangell Island to Russians. Wrangell and its 200 mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) has billions of barrels of oil/gas reserves and hundreds of millions of pounds of fisheries. It also has a strategic military location for tracking Russian moves in Arctic.

The Coast Guard is a component of the Department of Homeland Security. It unequivocally states:

“On 12 August 1881, he [William Reynolds] was at the head of the party that landed on what would be later named Wrangell Island and took possession of the island in the name of the United States.”

I think Yoyodyne is there too.

Ha ha.

I don't have affection for Rocketdyne because they make engines to for nuclear missiles.

I have had affection for them since I was a little boy because they make the engines that have taken us to the moon and Mars, and maybe will again.

Wrangell island is in Alaska. Wrangell island is the Arctic Ocean and is Russian.

You know, the irony is that Obama delivers on those types of promises. The American public gives Party R both houses and "Cheetos and the Turtle" can't be bothered to offer any sort of opposition to him.
