Why not

Jealous?

Whitest place in yankland

We sold Alaska to them.

Because we bought it, like Louisiana.

Mostly for oil (as well as a few military bases)

because russia was stupid and sold it to us

It was a pretty darn good deal too.
A fuckload of our oil reserves comes from Alaska.

to stage a two front assault into canada, or as i like to call it, states 51-63.

Honestly should give it to the Leaves.

Because it's ideal for a frozen penal colony, a la Dostoyevsky, or a Land Beyond the Wall in GoT. Deport the Eric Clantons there and save a few bucks on helicopter kerosene.

To cuck Canada

Why don't countries buy or sell land any more?

Why

coz you were (and still are) retarded

Russians were scared we were going to wrap around the planet and push their shit in. So they sold it to the yanks because we would have taken it anyway and pushed them off the continent.

tl;dr yanks and russians were scared of us.

Why not?

because globalist wars are the only way to get anything done these days, goy.

BEcause... FUCK THE LIVING SHIT OUT THE WOMB OUT OF YOUR MOM!!!

Pourquoi

Why sell when you can lease?

>The government of Zabaikalsky Krai, one of the country’s poorest regions, signed a preliminary agreement earlier this month under which Hua’e Xingbang, a private Chinese company, would gain control of more than 1,000 square kilometres of idle land bordering China on a 49-year lease for Rbs24bn ($440m).

Because muh diversity

The Russians anticipated that we would invade it and make it part of Canada, they pussied out and gave it to the Muricans instead.

When the rest of the world asks "why", the people of the USA ask "why not?" That's why we're number one, you limp-write ponce.

>We
Stop feeling pride for the accomplishments of others

After the Crimean War Russia worried about its ability to hold strategic points in face of the British. As a precaution to potential future British aggression, Russia sold Alaska to the US. This was designed as a "check" against British interests in North America and befuddle British potential to expand.

These are all Mandela effects.

This

Why not? They at least won a "war" for it

To invade Russia from the west, why else?

Russians were piss drunk and out of vodka so they sold it for peanuts ($7.2 million). We later found out it's full of gold and oil. Literally no different than buying Manhattan with colored beads and fire water from redskin savages.

Fuck you, that's why.

I think its only fair we get Florida.

>from the west

it is called east, brit

>Stick a bottle of warm fried coca cola in your ass.
>Normal people "But user why?"
>Amerishart "Why not. Braise Dog."

In preparation for the liberation of Canada from Trudeau

>British education
Also. Why the fuck would we invade Russia's worst fucking area?

Its their eternal cucking of Canada. Russia cucked us first, then USA bought it to cuck us.

go back to 9gag fegit

Then we annex British Columbia and rename it American Columbia. Only we kick out all the canucks and let the chinks stay lol

I wouldn't fight back.

i quite like america being on the front lines incase of russian invasion. Like a warm blankey.

>tfw gold was found there
>tfw The Commonwealth gets none
Thanks Ruskies

no reason, better buy kazakhstan for that reason

Renounce ur leafdom and join the burgers in order to drive out the trudeauites

I think it was more about Russia knowing they could in no way defend it if the Americans/British empire decided to take it; thus they took what they could instead of losing it for nothing. 7.2 million back then was a hefty sum for land considered nearly impossible to settle.

Columbia is the poetic name for the Americas and as female personification of the US. You could just call it Columbia.

corregt

pincer attack

Fuck BC, so filled with non-europeans/no resources/literally relies on drug money and starbucks to survive. Bunch of left wing twats. Central Canada is where its at.

Yanks were hoping they could get the bits of Canada between it and the US. Russians knew they couldn't hold onto it, push came to shove, and decided to at least get something out of it by selling it to the US. Canadians didn't want to be American.

Khazakstan weirds me out. It's one if the largest countries by landmass and yet nothing fucking happens there EVER. I have never seen an article anywhere regarding that place. Same with Mongolia. Is it comfy there? Or just poor as fuck?

...

Well we have DC which has Columbia in it. And there is a country called Columbia.... We could just name it after some Indian tribes that died out long ago there.

Sure but after he legalizes first. Then i'll really see stars.

Its Russia cucking Poland/Lithuania, remember you two were together one time, now Russia sits between you betas

663,268 square miles was bought for 118 million dollars per adjusted inflation. The gdp is about 50 billion nowadays. The main sources of income were probably timber and fishing at the time. Because of America's territorial ambitions though, Russia thought it was better to give it up than risk a war over a small fraction of their economy. It has to be taken into consideration that oil in Alaska was only discovered in 1968. news-releases.uiowah.edu/2009/november/David Barker-Alaska.pdf

He will legalize it for ur frozen indians and Muslims but leave regular leafs out. Cuz progress

its just a friendly reminder bruh

Kazakhstan is a normal country, rather poor but nothing weird about it. Mongolia however is a miracle land, it is the same as it was thousand years ago

they waste these lands. there are completly nothing atm

(yes i have butthurt)

it's like montana or sasketchwan: cold, mountainous, without anything interesting, and doesn't have too many people.

alaska is our version of gibraltar

>using a gif for a pic
why?

You got a problem with the Falklands m9?

When Americans ask 'why'
the civilized world asks 'why not'?

The true question - or how we call it:
Die polnische Frage

remove burger

why

>butthurt Argies detected

GM, BMW, Kia, Youejin, OKB Fakel, GS. 90% of all amber in the world and some fishing to boot.

>uneducated fucks

The people of the Kaliningrad Oblast identify more European and Polish than they do European

Because you couldn't win the Cold War

you're right. it should be like this

Wrong. Alaska is 66% white. The entirety of arctic North America is populated by eskimos.

Did they purge the Inuits?

I believe there is a small amount of oil there and a few towns. The only use is the oil though

Hey, dudes needs money for vodka; we also "sell" our lands to the USA and everyone is happey.

The country is Colombia, retard.

because you fucked up communism and lost cold war

I've read that there's a huge problem with alcohol in Nunavut native population, and it's the reason that place is such a shit. Why doesn't Trudeau does anything about it?

try to civilize your desolate eastern lands rusek. noone wants to use your special language and letters anymore

He's too busy snorting kike out of his wife's urethra,

>gold is found in the Yukon
>America sends a handful of drunk prospectors who haven't bathed in years to make the case for American control of the goldfields
>based NWMP turn back the smelly Americans at the border and control the Gold Rush while barely firing a shot

Dream On Bigosnigger
Will you send the cavalry as in 1939?
The red line is fine.

Because it's 2017.

I don't understand the boner you guys have for that queen.
A monarch is generally considered horrible when the entire empire dissolves under their reign.

Captcha: select all images with mountains

Hey, how about we split this shit in half?

rightful Russian clay.

Didn't China rule you once.

DEAL!

Because fuck you that's why. Just be glad we didn't let Canadians or Russians rule it.

fix'd

There's a huge alcohol problem in all canada's native populations. If a reserve doesn't have a serious problem, they are the exception.

Yeah but Nunavut is literally Russia levels of shit bad. And you guys don't practice communism so something must be really wrong over there.

You can't make an Indian a non-alcoholic. It's in their blood. Don't fault them for it, just pity them.
