A member of Russia's parliament called for reparations from the United States on Sunday -- including the return of historic settlements in Alaska and California -- over the west's vast economic sanctions.The Kremlin has been flooding the airwaves of its state-run channels with pro-war propaganda that paints a vastly different portrait to reality and shields the Russian people from the horrors of Vladimir Putin's bloody invasion of Ukraine, the Daily Beast first reported.Alaska and Fort Ross in California were part of the Russian empire in the 18th and 19th centuries before they were sold to the United States.

I'd say give them California. But I bet they'd react as if we'd given them a flaming paper bag of dog turds.

To get California, they'd have to take Portland and Seattle. That's the bargain I'd make :).

Putin knows that if there were ever a time to make demands, it's with the vegetables in the White House.

Kamala is probably wondering if California is in NATO.

Can't believe Russia would want a more evil dictatorship like Californistan. Californistan would destroy Russia just as it is doing to the US.

Yeah.......before ya'll start making demands like this, you should win the war your in first. Only winners are in a position to make demands. The world's 2nd most powerful military taking on the 22nd ranked, ( ranked two below Canada) and you haven't wrapped that up.
For comparison, the US destroyed the world's 4th ranked military in 4 days.

So - - I guess you really can see Russia from Alaska.
I guarantee you - - that apologies to Sarah Palin will now come pouring in from lying leftists.
Wait for them.

Rusdia can kiss my behind. The soviets nor the current deck of turds were not part of that decision.
BTW... we have nukes, too. Would you like to meet one?

I'd gladly pay them to take California off our hands!! We could then witness just how much the left-coast communists like living in the reality that they have advocated for. I can almost HEAR them screaming for help from the U.S. military, whom they so despise and abhor.

I'm with most the posters here. They can have the the left coast. My guess is in 20 years, they'd try to give it back.
Alaska is another matter. We paid cash money for Alaska and even have the receipt. Russia can kiss our nuclear armed fanny.

Guess they don't recall how they sold Alaska to the United States, in much the same manner France sold the section of America (Louisiana Purchase) - they couldn't defend the far-off lands, and needed money.
Same with Mexico, after being defeated the United States gave back the land up-to the Rio Grande, paid for the portion Norte of the Rio Grande, and even paid reparations for areas within Mexico that were destroyed during the war.
I'll have to look-up Fort Ross to see what that's all about.

Well, do the Russkies understand that they're going to have to wait in line behind all the J'Quons, Takwandas, Kwantrells and Shaneeshas?
They can all go and blow it out their hind ends.

Has the whole world gone mad? It certainly sounds like it. These demands are an embarrassment to Russia. Who talks like this? If nothing else, it sounds like pure desperation.
During the whole time Biden was talking up this invasion if he and NATO had been arming Ukraine with the weapons it needed, this awful invasion may have been met with enough force to push Russia back on its heels. The Ukrainians are putting up one heck of a fight and it is a shame to watch them beg for weapons that could the difference between life and death. This could have been an opportunity to wound the Russian bear to such an extent that it would not be so eager to invade another country and it could have been done without boots on the ground from other countries. You can be sure that if Ukraine falls, Putin will march on the Baltic states.

They can have Kalifornia under one condition: They build a wall around it and only let people with voter ID cards that shows they're Republican, out. I don't think that's asking too much since the loons there love communism so much.

Russia asking for reparations?!?
How many liberal/Democrat hot button issues originated as Russian propaganda?
We are led by dishonest stupid fools. There are some in our government that might take this nonsense seriously.

Actually, it might be a good idea for Putin to take over California and get rid of those Leftwing Communists.
Only problem is that we can't give Putin ALL of California. The CCP already bought and owns Hollywood.

No, I don't believe we would give them Alaska anytime soon. Besides, all they want it for is all that oil. You know, the stuff that the greenies keep fighting against us using?

We've been to Fort Ross; a replica fort containing two original buildings, with a Visitor's Center, so the Ruskies could have a place to sell their trinkets. But all the time we were there, I kept thinking of the movie, The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming.... :)

Russia can have Commiefornia, but they will have to fight China for it first, because Commiefornia is already owned by China.
