People don't care at all. The average American doesn't know what a "South Ossetia" and "Abkhazia" is.

Most Americans don't even know this is happening. It's partially their own faults for not really caring about real news, and partially the media's fault for not even attempting to provide it.

I'm sure if one American or "Westerner" died in crossfire, they'd be on it 24/7 using their snappy "War in Russia" titles.

Also, your previous posts would tend to indicate that you are unaware that Alaska was once a Russian possession.

Until 1867. This is 2008. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Corsica was once Italian. Newfoundland was once a British possession. The Virgin Islands were once Danish.

Lets see.

How long were the Falklands British possessions, before the Argentines invaded and sought to annex them?

Entirely unrelated. The Argentines had a strong claim, and still have, to the Falklands. Russia doesn't have a strong claim to Alaska.

Do you understand the status of Kashmir and Jammu, and how long that has been contested?

Entirely unrelated again.

Oh, and part (not all) of the Virgin Islands were at one time Danish (don't see the danes trying to recover their lost colonies).

Yes, I know.

Are you really so ignorant that you do not understand the strong pull of Russian imperialism?

Try debating instead of throwing insults around.

Wake up tovarisch, oh, and aside from Vodka, they drink tea in Russia.

Also, you still have shown NO understanding of the pull of Russian imperialism.  Not simply an insult, but rather an observation of your failure to understand a key concept.

Russian imperialism is concentrated on Europe these days, in case you haven't noticed. It isn't focused much on Alaska.
