Some Alaskans apparently are not opposed to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent annexation of Crimea—in fact, they are hoping to be grabbed up next.
More than 30,000 Alaskans have signed the petition “Alaska back to Russia,” pleading that the White House allow them to secede and join their native land. If the request garners 100,000 signatures by April 20, the White House will make an official response.
Alaska has only been a state for 55 years. Russia owned the territory until 1867, when Secretary of State William H. Seward agreed to pay $7.2 million for President Andrew Jackson’s “polar bear garden.” .....snip~

What in the hell is wrong with these people. Are they stoned?
You can find 100,000 (in this case 30,000 so far) idiots in any state.

Heya CM. :2wave: Whoever it is.....is a nut.
One "S.V." of Anchorage launched the almost nonsensical petition:
Groups Siberian russians crossed the Isthmus (now the Bering Strait) 16-10 thousand years ago.
Russian began to settle on the Arctic coast, Aleuts inhabited the Aleutian Archipelago.

didn't we legally purchase alaska from russia back in the 1870s?

So rather than expecting Putin to somehow magically just take Alaska away from the US, with no objection from us, I suggest that we just give those that want to return to Russia a hearty "good-bye and good luck on your journey" talk, and send them on their way back to Russia. I don't know if DC would be willing to let them leave, either, but that's up to them to decide.
Didn't Russia Legally give Crimea to the Ukraine
Exactly.
Russia did not legally invaded Crimea neither for it too was a Ukrainian area. He took it with might and money. Alaska cannot leave the USA for you will keep it with might and money.
So basically it seems might and money keeps and takes countries. Nothing new here for this is how it always was.
The powerful have more might and more money. They make a move and it is interpreted as either "liberation" or "invasion" depending on whose side you are on.
But Obama might bar Russian leaders from like.... disney world.Well, given the "justice" of taking Crimea, then obviously Alaskans can vote to join Russia. In fact, Russia should invade Alaska and hold the election.
The bear population of Alaska feels discriminated against and wants to be reunited with the motherland.
"What"......cmons now. They're wearing jeans. :mrgreen:
:agree: This is getting to be ridiculous, though. The power games being played by those who determine the destinies of billions of people on this planet proves that they do not care one whit about the lives of those they are affecting. They really don't care, and that is sobering to consider. Perhaps it was ever thus, but it seems to be accelerating for some reason, meaning either that some final goal is in sight, or they are afraid that if it isn't finalized quickly it will all unravel, and they will have lost control. Time will tell.
Greetings, DDD. :2wave:

Why is the bear associated with Russia anyway? This is becoming very common nowadays?
