Russian member of parliament demands Putin take Alaska

"There isn’t a single country in the world that is as easily manipulated as America,” Matveychev said. “Here’s what will be on the table after our victory... After Ukraine’s demilitarization is completed... we’re going to raise the stakes... For example, the lifting of all sanctions... The dissolution of NATO, because the presence of NATO in some countries is getting in our way. Extradition of all war criminals... like [Anton] Herashchenko [former deputy minister at the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs], Zelensky, [former President of Ukraine Petro] Poroshenko. Extradition of various oligarchs, like [Mikhail] Khodorkovsky."

"We should be thinking about reparations from the damage that was caused by the sanctions and the war itself, because that too costs money and we should get it back. The return of all Russian properties, those of the Russian empire, the Soviet Union and current Russia, which has been seized in the United States, and so on."

"Are you including Alaska and Fort Ross?” the host asked.

“That was my next point. As well as the Antarctic," Matveychev continued. "We discovered it, so it belongs to us... Also, the return of all medals that have been unlawfully taken from our sportsmen during all Olympic games, as well as the extradition of [Grigory] Rodchenkov, along with the extradition of multiple other criminals we’ll want. I think we should start voicing all of that, so they understand what will be on the table. You didn’t want to talk to us about something small, like Ukraine’s neutrality, here’s what you get. And that’s not even all of it.”

Then they'll want the Pac West down to San Francisco!




(As for the site that graphic is linked to from ... "to from"? ... looney tunes. But the graphic shows early Russian claims, even if Spain also claimed much of it.)

Spent 3 days there in October of 2017 as we were trying to get to Hawaii, than Guam to Australia.

Russia would be crazy to launch a strike there.

Russia and its catastrophe of a military should think twice before making threats.

“Matveychev” in Russian must mean, “IQ of a coconut.”

"Does your list include a tactical nuclear strike, or are we going straight for the strategic one?" the host asked. “What for? We can take them down without it," replied Matveychev.


They can't take Ukraine...


"Your choice. Tactical or strategic, take a pick. You took our money, you’re the thieves, our talk is short with you: a bullet to the head.”


Now, he sounds like TFG...

Jeeze, what a crazy sumbich.
