@Tadeuz Giczan tweeted; Russia's Duma speaker Volodin Vyacheslav is now threatening to take Alaska back from the US since, like Ukraine, it's also an ancestral Russian land: "America should always remember about Alaska. Before they seize our resources abroad, they must remember that we also have something to take back" On March 30, 1867, the United States reached an agreement to purchase Alaska from Russia for a price of $7.2 million. The Treaty with Russia was negotiated and signed by Secretary of State William Seward and Russian Minister to the United States Edouard de Stoeckl. Alaska is one of the two non-contiguous US states. It is located in the northwestern region of North America bordering Canada. In the past, the United States and the United Kingdom (which had control of Canada) had a dispute about the boundary of the state. The dispute began back in 1821 during the time of the Russian Empire and was not resolved until later in 1903 through arbitration. Initially, the dispute existed between the UK and the Russian Empire. However, the United States purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire in 1867 thus inheriting the dispute with the UK. The final resolution clearly favored the US, which is why Alaska is part of the US today. The Daily Beast || News-Week Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 Seun 3 Likes

The $7.2 million check the United States government used to pay for Alaska, 1868, (roughly $135 million in 2022). In 1866 the Russian government offered to sell the territory of Alaska to the US. Russian minister to the US negotiated for the Russians. On March 30, 1867, the 2 parties agreed on the price.

The Russian Speaker, Volodin must be high on Russian Vodka Former Russian territory being Alaska State today was sold way back, becoming the 49th State of the U.S They want to take back because Alaska State is ranked among the Top 10 Oil&Gas Producing States in the US, how is this possible?  Russia is blessed with resources already, especially Natural Gas. 3 Likes |

TALK is Cheap! They should attempt it. The US Soldiers will be honourably asked to take the bench and watch to their admiration while the ordinary US citizens deal with them in the language they can only understand. That's the reason Gun Control will be difficult in the US. Even the US Army will find it difficult defeating American citizens during a full scale war should it decide to confront the armed citizens. 7 Likes 3 Shares |
