Russian nationalists want Alaska back, and they want Putin to take it by force

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

America’s purchase of Alaska in 1867 was a bizarre land deal between two countries. It was either hated or ridiculed across most of the world. But now, Russian nationalists want their long-lost icebox.

Yes, really. Russian nationalists are saying that Putin should come home from his Alaska visit with a very imperial present for the Russian people. They either claim the land of Alaska was leased, not sold, or that a Russian diplomat bribed American lawmakers, or that the Russian Tsar didn’t follow the law of the sale, or some other excuse.

We can’t wait to see how the Alaska population, which is now over 50 percent made up of Americans descended from Western Europe, would react to suddenly becoming Russian. Surely all those bear hunters who are accustomed to their right to bear arms would happily become constituents of the Russian bear and would welcome Russian Tupolev Tu-95 “Bear” bombers on their airfields.

The Russian Empire

It’s rarely on Americans’ minds that Russia used to have an impressive empire, mostly because Russia has been a totalitarian bogeyman or a socialist joke for nearly all of living memory here in the States.

1. Maybe we can send the National Guard

from South Carolina, West Virginia and Ohio up to defend the border. They apparently are going to have training destroying an entire US city businesses and all.

2. Take Alaska by force?

The US military is a bit stronger and bigger than Ukraine's and Putin has his hands full just barely staying in that battle and has had to import fighters from vassal nations.

8. Better yet, how about all the red states?

Since they seem to like autocracy?
Carve up the US like the day after Thanksgiving turkey!

7. I'm Surprised They Haven't Declared Independence

I mean, they're such rugged in-duh-vidualists up there. Maybe they'd elect Lisa Murkowski as governor?

Honestly, if I was an Alaskan, I'd be petitioning to join Canada.

9. All Vlad has to do is whisper sweet nothings in Donny's ear about how awesome he is,

and Donny will probably give it to him for free, with a giant red bow wrapped around it.

10. Good luck. Most Alaskans are better armed than Russia's army.
