Why am I starting to worry that the Felon-in-Chief will offer to sell Alaska back to Russia? In exchange perhaps for his support of invading Greenland?
Nothing this insane toddler does would surprise me anymore.

(11,037 posts)2.4 miles - sounds like Putin wont have to fly very far - . On a clear day you can see Russia from Alaska

Alaska is very close to Russia. At their closest point, the Diomedes IslandsLittle Diomede (Alaska, USA) and Big Diomede (Russia)are only about 2.4 miles (3.8 kilometers) apart across the Bering Strait. This narrow stretch of water separates the easternmost part of Russia (the Chukotka Peninsula) from western Alaska. The two regions are so close that on a clear day, you can see Russia from Alaska, particularly from places like Little Diomede Island or high points along Alaskas western coast. Geographically, theyre neighbors, despite being separated by the International Date Line and belonging to different continents.

(Otherwise, it could be on the table with an appropriate Putin purchase of Trump worthless crypto-coins...)
Justice matters.
(10,084 posts)The repukes there let him ignore the Constitution, defraud the Treasury, accept foreign gifts, and raise tariffs without them having to say a word about them.

The whole Texas "give me another five seats" show that he still cares about the party margin in the congress....

(137,470 posts)Russia sold Alaska to us after getting their collective asses kicked in the Crimean war. They didn't want Britain which Canada was still part of on their doorstep.

(66,528 posts)Orange dipshit is obviously going to offer (without any authority) "peace" if Ukraine gives Russia certain land such as *waves arms all around* and Ukraine will get a donation to The Human Fund in return.
Alaska isn't on the table. Why do we do this?

(3,651 posts)They have known since the 1990s that he is a Russian asset. 106 money laundering counts using slot machines to pay Russians.
Trump and the rest of the Russian assets need to be deported using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798

Zelenskyy can bring some help w/ him
After sorting out a serious Ukrainian peace deal, arranging for Russian reparations + release of hostages + children, Zelenskyy + his helpers can shake hands + smoothly slip the handcuffs on Putin + Krasnov, arresting them + then delivering them to The Hague
After their war crimes tribunal, let it be Zelenskyy who receives a Nobel Peace Prize
One can dream
