i mean, they haven't been grinding their teeth about it for all 150 years, but they are sort of grinding their teeth about it now. this is a russian magazine called "military industrial courier" which i promises you do not read on the regular. this got picked up in "the new york times" yesterday. this article in ts called "the alaska we lost." darn you, william sue ard, for snookering us on that deal. yesterday vladimir putin was at an international forum in the arctic where he was not only complaining about alaska, he was complaining that the united states is unfairly using alaska as part of our plot for world domination. he said, quote, what we do is contained locally, while what the u.s. does in alaska it does on the global level. the united states is using our unfair toehold in alaska for purposes of global oppression. obviously.
