Remember the Panic in D.C. when the Soviets parked couple of Nukes on tiny #Cuba, Now imagine on whole of #Alaska when the #US must return after 156 years lease of Alaska expires on the March 10, #2023, Imagine the Russian Army on the American continent breathing down Trudeau's neck, this is gonna be entertaining...
LET'S CLARIFY THE SITUATION WITH ALASKA ONCE AND FOR ALL!
In #1867, Tsarist Russia decided to sell Alaska to the USA for 156 years against the sum of 7.2 million dollars (then it meant a huge amount) to equip and supply its army in the following expeditions against the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires. In exchange, the #USA offered to diplomatically help the Tsarist Empire for the annexation of the Baltic provinces (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) and West Prussia. In addition to the 7.2 million dollars, the US also gave the Tsarist Empire at that time over 3,300 Tomahawk guns with a range big action for those times. The transaction was made on March 10, 1867 and stipulates that it can be updated over 156 years under the conditions imposed by Russia. Well, now Russia seems to want it back and no longer wants to extend the sales contract- purchase with the USA for no amount.
Although, in 2018, it seems that Trump offered #Putin 74 billion dollars to extend the contract with Alaska for another 200 years, a proposal that Putin refused. The gesture was recognized official, the amount but not, the information about the amount remains "on the sources" PS-And one more thing, maybe you are wondering where and until where 156 years and not 200 or 100 round. Well, 156 was the favorite number of Tsar Alexandru the second, this being the hilarious reason for u this number of years stipulated in the contract.
2023-1867=156 years, this is exactly the duration of the sale vs. purchase contract concluded on March 10, 1867 between Russia and the USA for the sum of 7.2 million dollars. After March 10, 2023, legally speaking, the contract becomes null and void, and #Russia has the right of withdrawal .Alaska was discovered and explored for the first time in 1512 by the Russians who owned that territory officially between 1530-1867, i.e. 337 years.
