A pretty good job? At what? If you're going to say the economy you need to be slapped into reality. The economy was getting better before Trump was president and is in an up cycle. He doesn't have a damn thing to do with it.

What are you talking about? :confused:

I see no news reports of Russia "annexing" Unalaska.

Your own citation states it is part of the State of Alaska. "Once belonged" refers to the entirety of Alaska before Russia sold it to the USA.

So when everything was going bad for Obama, it was because of Bush... yeah.. I've heard this song and dance before.
 
Might seem like a silly question but what do the people of Unalaska Island want?

No, he isn't doing pretty good. His foreign policies are abysmal and the trade war he started is proving such a disaster he is now having to bribe farmers for votes later in the year. Trump is sucking big time, but with your head in the sand I'm not surprised you didn't know.

Your citation is from Friday 31 March 2017 14:12, and is over a year old. It also talks about "Russian nationalists" while Putin himself states it is nothing to worry about.

Let me post you something from the Obama era back in 2012:


Alaskan Island Giveaway?

Q: Is President Obama giving away several Alaskan islands to Russia?
A: No. The U.S. has never claimed ownership of the islands identified in viral emails and websites. They lie far closer to the coast of Siberia than to Alaska.

It is an old issue indeed. In fact, World Net Daily itself published a July 29, 2008, article critical of the State Department for the “island giveaway.” Of course, George W. Bush — not Obama — was president at the time. (The Bush administration’s official Arctic Region Policy stated that the U.S. would abide by the 1990 maritime agreement and would continue to urge the Russian Federation to ratify it.)

Nope. Maybe you were in Russia at the time, so you can be excused, but things went south at the end of Bush's term and then Obama came in to office. Not because of Bush -- it was just the way it was.

But your blaming Obama for the downturn and giving Trump credit for the improving economy that was already improving is just lame.

Obama literally inherited a recession. Are you serious?

If only the kids that keep screeching all of this could supply proof, or somehow share the knowledge that their crystal ball is telling about the future...

Oh wait, I forgot what kind of people I was dealing with.

I'll just let the blowhard talk and I don't mean Trump in this little equation.
 
Which is not what I'm doing.

Hence, not lame.

Oh, for sure....I fully expect the Russian flag over Alaska any day now...it should coincide with the Annexation of California by Mexico, Louisiana reclaimed by France, and Florida taken back by Spain; Though, Mar A Lago will retain independent City State status like the Vatican.

Seeing as there is no indication that Russia is doing as such in Alaska. There is no reason to worry.

you think there were many indications of annexation of Crimea before 2014?
 
Troll.
 
Traversing its rolling alpine meadows and dramatic mountains is to experience the palpable soul of the Aleutians. These poetic, lyrical landscapes soften the harsh and sometimes unforgiving attributes of a place deeply beholden to the elements.

sounds amazing... on paper, but too close to Siberia for my liking brrr... I say we hand it back to the Russians whether they want it or not
