You've never met a yupik

Aren't they just snow abos?

abos are desert yupiks

It was more like what the fuck is wrong with Americans

we needed more clay so we could manifest our destiny

It’s so I can disappear from normal American society and not have to live in a different country

bad post

It was more siberian tier wasteland, why would they care?
The purchase of Alaska was seen as a huge waste of money at the time

I wonder how the geopolitics be like if Russia still had Alaska

It was completely worthless ice at the time.
Also the Cold War would have been much worse if they never sold it.

alaska was the second best part of russia

(the best part of russia was mendocino county and napa valley)

garuntee it would be part of canada or independent right now if they never sold it

>at the time

Why would I care what some fags in the 1870s thought about Alaska?

Better question is if they had Alaska + Northern California. Both probably would have been filled with convict labor but would have stayed Imperial after 1917, giving us two Russias in the same way there were two Chinas. In this case they'd either vote for US annexation or would become relatively benign tax havens. White Russian wine would be the most popular spirit in the United States and it'd probably be turned into a tourist trap. Russia would have also likely stayed communist, because if they overthrew their communist regime it would mean returning to a Monarch-led Republic like Spain.

instead of fighting with britian over desert churkastans, russia could have had one of the richest and most productive lands in the world. People would be learning Russian and moving to Russia because it would be whiter and classier than the US.

because they're the ones that bought it faggot. Antarctica is looking pretty fucking worthless right now but it might not be in a hundred years

Russia was weakened by the Crimean war.
Who borders Russia in America? Britain. Who was not friends with Britain then? USA. There was a big risk that British would invade Alaska. It was impossible for Russia to have a big warfare in Alaska so we would just lose. So it was much more wise and better to sell it for (even little) money to USA than just lose it to brits.
hagahha lads tgats how it was then,,,,,,,,, hahhiih,,,,,

yet only 500 white people managed to annex all of California because the Mexican government there was so completely shit. Russia could have owned what is now Silicon Valley using only conscripted and prison laborers armed with guns (mexico's army couldn't afford guns at the time).

Im ok with this, Russia is big enough and it made USA the only country with all the ecosystems. Gringo friends how did you get Hawaii?

The Hawaiian queen asked for statehood and we obliged

Yeah we will just give guns to the prisoners what could even happen

A Mexican Russian war would have been very much based.

How do you think Britain's army formed?

The Hawaiian King sometime in the mid 1880s was forced by white sugar plantation owners (descendants of missionaries) to strip the Hawaiian monarchy of much of its authority. Eventually this lead to annexation in 1893 to make use of its position in the Pacific.

It would have probably broken off during the revolution like binland.

Silicon valley doesn't have magical technology leylines or something, but it does have nice weather

yes it does google's headquarters has a secret tunnel to area 51, which is why there are so many ufo sightings around the area. They give information to the chinese and 5G is their goal.

Ohh :0
