I assumed this could be in response to the US recently expanding its coastal boarders. But while looking for other sources there were rumors of this coming a month ago
Come get it, mfer.
Yeah, what right did Tsar Alexander II have to make decisions for Russia?!
Okay this but unironically, anti-monarchist gang rise up
This sounds like a set up for if Trump wins.
Trump: Im the world’s savior, I prevented World War 3 with Russia by giving them back their illegally stolen Alaska. No president has ever done anything so great for the world!
The US wont give back land to the native peoples it genocided and you think you’re gonna make the US give up land it paid for?
Guess we’ll just have to have a good ol’ fashioned war to resolve the issue. We begin bombing in five minutes.
If he asks for it back, let the Minnesotans know. We enjoy refusing to return stuff that we got fair and square.
Molon labe
He’s got a point, totally illegitimate for the tzar to sell land that didn’t even belong to him. The only rational move is the unilaterally land back all of Alaska to Indigenous administration.
Crimea river. Also loooooooooooool
As far as I can tell, this story is false. This is linked through MSN but not published by them. The direct link is here and it’s published by essanews.com. I can’t find any fact check info on them but they’re owned by a giant Polish media company (Wirtualna Polska). A few years ago, Wirtualna Polska were caught publishing pro-government stories under fake names. This is also reported by Knewz.com, citing this story as a source and framing the Alaska claim as speculation. No one else seems to be reporting this, though it would be big, ridiculous news.
I think the timeline is that Putin ordered a hunt for Russian/Soviet property. Then Igor Sushko (Winds of Change guy) speculated that it had implications for the sale of Alaska. Reading the translation, it appears to be pretty wild speculation. Anyway, then this story is published saying that Putin signed a specific decree declaring the Alaska sale illegal. I can’t find any reference to a specific decree about Alaska.
