One of Vladimir Putin's allies said that Alaska was part of Russian territory and his country could claim it back.
"You know what they're actually doing besides threatening to take back Alaska?" she said."They're actually, though, flagging underseas resources that do belong to us - oil, gas, minerals - and our U.S. administration has just kind of sat there and let it happen."
Palin said she had raised that issue during her time as governor. In 2007, Russia symbolically laid claim to a large area of the North Pole that is rich in oil and gas reserves by placing a flag on the sea bed."They're physically underwater laying the flag down, saying that it's theirs," she said."There are things that we can do about it. We don't have to just sit back and act like they're in charge.
Palin suggested that the Biden administration might be"allowing Russia to bulldoze right on over us."
