Amid the ongoing tense standoff between US and Russia over Ukraine, Alaska has emerged as the latest flashpoint. Billboards reading ‘Alaska is Ours’ have been spotted in Russia’s Krasnoyarsk city and the sign has gone viral on social media. The sign was spotted a day after Putin’s ally, Vyacheslav Volodin, threatened to ‘take back’ Alaska in response to US sanctions. In March, Russian State Duma member Oleg Matveychev also called on the Kremlin to reclaim Alaska. After Ukraine, US and Russia to clash over Alaska?

Alaska is NOT Russian property! It was sold to the United States for 7 million as "useless" land. Besides, good luck with taking it back! The citizens themselves can seriously do a number on Russian soldiers. Not to mention the military that is there.
Just another desperate joke from Russia. They could hardly claim the neighborhood store successfully.
Russian cannot even beat Ukraine. Good luck beating the U.S.
I want to know how a Soviet minister was involved in the 1860s.
As a former Alaskan I dare say bring it on! If the Russians thought the little scary Ukrainians are bad then they haven't met the armed rural Alaskans armed to the teeth who have hunted since children. They will make great target practice
If love to see Russians face a bunch of angry heavily armed Alaskans who have been told it is open season on Russians. Russian rhetoric gets more stupid and childish by the day.
U.s. military budget has been more than the top 5 countries combined for decades. I sleep peacefully.
😂 The agony of a country loosing at war. Anyway Alaska is a gun state so good luck seem to be perfect short words for them. That state has more military presence than any state in the U.S.A.
To attack Alaska would be suicide, come on now he really would have a problem bc besides Ukraine he would have the whole NATO bloc chewing his ass up as well
Russia is only good at talking😂😂😂how can they manage to invade alaska if they themselves are strugling in ukraine😂
Right. Bring it on and see who bought what. One word answer: “don’t”
Eyeroll
russia is getting stupid..they use history to justify their invasion at ukraine..i think they forgot history that alaska was sold to US..once sold, the owner had the discretion to bring back to the seller..
Tell Putin to come and try to take Alaska.If.the Russian ay cannot do any better than they are in Ukraine then they need to take a step back because we will use our WW2 military equipment on the Russian ay.The Russian army.is a joke.
So Russia is claiming territory on the North American Continent.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Putin has become he can't even take Crimea from Ukraine and he thinks he has a chance of taking Alaska lol.
Russia Can’t Even Take Ukraine 😆 if They Think they can take back Alaska boy are they Stupid! 😂
Haha, he's having a torrid time in the Ukraine. Imagine every gun owner in the US streaming north to take him on in Alaska??
they can barely tackle a small nation like ukraine, now they want to take on the big chief? sure, go ahead.
Come take it then clown. What in the hell is wrong with him? It's frustrating seeing him do this and then lie to his brain washed people.
