BREAKING REPORT: Russian state TV issues demands that America 'RETURNS' ALASKA AND CALIFORNIA'S FORT ROSS to Russia, threatens NUCLEAR STRIKE on US in response to sanctions, and calls for public hangings in Ukraine...

1  If their willing to bargain I say give them the whole left coast and keep Alaska. Them people want to live in a socialist hellhole lets give em a real taste.

2 Well, I would vote for keeping San Diego.

3 Have at it sez I! Bill, I would too but not sure how to do it. Maybe make it like Guam or something?

Yeah Dana; I say we keep Alaska. It's not that conservative but it isn't that liberal either, and we could finally drill in ANWAR if we got rid of the Leftie Coast.

4 BTW, the Russians have made the claim that the ship that was delivering the money from the U.S. for Alaska sank and that therefore the deal was null and void. Been claiming this for years. There is no real evidence as far as I can see, but it has become something of a grievance with the Russkies.

Don't know how they justify claims on California, but there has been a movement in Russia demanding it "back".

I think it ought to go the other way; we should buy Kamchatka and Sakhalin Island and make it part of the U.S. We waste so much money anyway, at least that way we actually get something for our troubles. Russia should sell that to us - they can't develop  it anyway and need the money.

We could sell Sakhalin Island to Japan. Maybe make the whole Island a refuge for the Ainu, who are dwindling in population. We could resettle the Central Americans who want to come here on Kamchatka. That would show whether they really wanted sanctuary or just to suckle at Uncle Sams teet.

5 What the hey... give 'em Seattle, Portland and Chicago for starters. Then if they don't holler "uncle," give 'em Minneapolis and St. Paul too. 

6 Well, I was thinking we hand Michigan and Minnesota and Chicago to Canada. They seem to want to be part of the Dominion anyway.

7 If their willing to bargain I say give them the whole left coast and keep Alaska. Them people want to live in a socialist hellhole lets give em a real taste.
