So if Biden gives Alaska to Russia... (Page 1/2)

... Would he take out the military and leave the civilians to fend for themselves? And leave billions of dollars of military hardware behind for Russia to have for free?

Just pondering how he would do it.

I say we keep Alaska and give him the rest of the west coast.
Then we invade Mexico.

It's nothing but Communists from Seattle to San Diego and everybody in Mexico wants to come to America. It is a perfect plan.

I say we take Alaska since we are used to the climate and terrain already, build a land-bridge to Russia and charge you guys through the azz for good caviar and voodka !!!!

Not to mention we will be able to offer deep discounts on Russian mail-order brides.

No, you'd just have them all speaking French and eating poutine. You can have Chihuahua and Coahuila.

When the first edition of the New York Times was published in 1851, that is what the NYT presented to its first readers as the NYT's purpose or mission.

I don't want to make this about the New York Times.

I present this because it reminds me (in an opposite way) of Pennock's forum members who loudly claim for themselves the mantle of "Conservatism", as if this idealogical bumper sticker should be accepted and honored by other forum members, like some kind of Pennock's Platinum Credibility Card.

I thought, where should I post this, and this seemed like a good thread for it. I didn't think it had the makings of a New Topic. Seems too much like an Old Topic.

That's what I think about them.

I had one particular screen name in mind, and then, upon some added reflection, a second screen name came to the foreground.

But not "olejoedad".

You don't have to accept or honor my ideology. When I am elected emperor president, I am going to give California to the Russians. Don't worry, most Californians will not notice any difference.
