30,000+ people have signed a [url=https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/alaska-back-russia/SFG1ppfN]White House Petition[/url] for secession of Alaska from the United States and joining Russia.
This deserves a big fat N for [i]Never gonna happen.[/i]
-
I can't help but notice many of the people signing it aren't from Alaska... >_>
-
Does the White House even take these petitions seriously?
-
Yes. Because then Russia can drill Alaska for oil and we can invade our former state for that oil we refused to use in the first place. It's BRILLIANT!
-
Yeah, let's just give Texas back to Mexico while we're at it.
-
How crazy do you have to be to want to join Russia?
-
Alaska would that really worry you
-
How many of those "signatures" do you think we're made by Russian government employees?
-
Well, technically, Alaska did belong to Russia. If Putin could do what he did in South Ossetia and Crimea by flooding in Russian immigrants, I am sure he could annex it too if he wanted.
-
Only problem is that if the White House denies this, Putin will spin it around as proof that ethnic Russians in Alaska are being oppressed and will pull another Crimea. [spoiler]Semi-joking, but I wouldn't be surprised if RT takes this and runs with it.[/spoiler]
-
Out of all the states to leave, Alaska is the last I'm worried about. No offense.
-
LOL. Why would anyone want to join Russia?
-
Could we do this for Florida?
-
But muh hunting!

OP is making a secret message.

-
Lolrite B/c we'd love to just hand the ruskies all that oil.
-
Palin still lives there right? I support this action.
-
Trade Ukraine for Alaska?
