Straight Line of the Day: Russia Is Asserting Its Claim to Alaska. In Retaliation, …

Russia Lays Claim to Alaska and Huge Swathes of Asia as Vladimir Putin Issues New Decree
Express UK | 1/22/2024 | Aurora Bosotti

New edict affects all of Moscow’s historic holdings across three continents, including former imperial colonies in the US.

Russia has laid the groundwork for expanding its soft power across North America and Asia with a new decree Vladimir Putin signed last week.

The new order provides funds to search, register and provide legal protection to Russian properties abroad – including land and buildings located in former Russian Empire and Soviet Union territories.

Among the areas affected by the new decree is Alaska, which was sold to the United States in 1867 and still hosts communities with close links to Russia.

Parts of central and eastern Europe, Scandinavia as well as large chunks of Asia were also once part of the former empire.

  1. Biden: “In retaliation we will lay out razor wire around the whole state with the wire we are stealing from Texas.”
    This ingenious act will guarantee my re-election over the Orange Godzilla..oh and Millenia was the worse first lady ever man.”

  2. . . . 25 Governors sent their National Guards to Alaska, instead of waiting for the Roberts Court to rule against America and the Constitution again (see also Border Patrol, Obamacare et al, don’t have time to list them all). Brandon quickly sent Hunter on Air Force 2 to Moscow to discuss another bribe from Putin to cut the razor wire down. Kamala drew a Venn diagram of the missing airplane for the police, which she noticed after she got off the yellow school bus at the hangar.

    Putin joked that he was sending a wire to cut the wire. Brandon didn’t get the joke. Putin told him to look in a mirror. Kamala said, “I am so wired, cackle cackle cackle.” Brandon told Putin to write “loan repayment” on the wire transfer, and send it to “Hunter’s Shell Company Emporium and Crack House Art Sales, LLC.”

    The plot sickens.

  3. … children and zzyzx hurt most.

    V.P. Come-All-On Herass:

    “Alaska, being a state, is a part of our great union of states. As a state, it has statehood, which is, as I’ve said, great. Anyway, global warming — am I right?”
