Putin’s stooges threaten to reclaim Alaska from US, Gov taunts, ‘Good luck’

Russian lawmakers loyal to President Vladimir Putin have threatened to claw back Alaska from the US if Western countries continue to impose sanctions as punishment for the war in Ukraine.

Russia’s most senior lawmaker Vyacheslav Volodin warned Wednesday that Kremlin could claim back the state, which was sold to the US in 1867.

“Decency is not weakness,” said the speaker of the State Duma, Russia’s lower house of parliament, during a parliamentary session. “We always have something to answer with. Let America always remember, there is part of its territory… Alaska.”

He warned: “When they start trying to dispose of our resources abroad, let them think before they do so that we also have something to reclaim.”

He urged other members of the Duma to “keep an eye on Alaska.”
