In 2014 Russia unloaded block-modules on Wrangel Island and Cape Schmidt for the construction of military camps. The complex is being erected in the form of a star. (Moscow Times) In May 1881 US explorers approached Jeannette Island, Wrangell Island and Henrietta Island in the Arctic Ocean and claimed them for the United States. But according to the Obama Department of State no claim exists today over these US islands. In fact the State Department is conspiring with Russian President Putin to give away Wrangell Island to Russians. Wrangell and its 200 mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) has billions of barrels of oil/gas reserves and hundreds of millions of pounds of fisheries. It also has a strategic military location for tracking Russian moves in Arctic. The Coast Guard is a component of the Department of Homeland Security. It unequivocally states: “On 12 August 1881, he [William Reynolds] was at the head of the party that landed on what would be later named Wrangell Island and took possession of the island in the name of the United States.” The State Department keeps on pumping out false and misleading statements in a supposed “Fact Sheet”. The actual facts are presented at statedepartmentwatch.org. wrangel islands Now, Vladimir Putin has begun construction of a naval base and army base on Wrangell without so much as a peep from the State Department or President Obama. Something is tragically wrong here. Background facts here and here. The State Department has undertaken the giveaway with Putin in the guise of a maritime boundary agreement between Alaska and Siberia. But as an executive agreement, it could be reversed with the stroke of a pen by President Obama or Secretary Kerry. The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy. The state of Alaska was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, Congress was not notified, nor was the public given any opportunity for comment. The Alaska Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition, and so has California’s legislature. President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry could stop the giveaway with the stroke of a pen. But they won’t.

One has to ask...would the Rooskies do such when Reagan was President? Goes to show how far in the toilet the American populace has gone by electing Obola not once but twice!
"And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;" (Revelation 5:9)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrangel_Island It seems there have been no Americans there for about 90 years. It is considered Russian. Fact Check shows it on a map. It is nowhere near Alaska. http://www.factcheck.org/2012/03/alaskan-island-giveaway/ Alaskan Island Giveaway? Posted on March 27, 2012 Q: Is President Obama giving away several Alaskan islands to Russia? A: No. The U.S. has never claimed ownership of the islands identified in viral emails and websites. They lie far closer to the coast of Siberia than to Alaska.
Another ploy in Obama's crusade to strangle our petrol independence.
This article is trolling for 'shocked' reactions from people who don't know geography or history and Saint Reagan would not have done squat since this land was always considered on Russia's side of the border. The conservative movement has to stop being outraged and fooled by fake stuff. At this point I have to wonder if there is a serious industry to creating these viral emails that anger or freak out old people - especially old white people who remember Reagan. To what end? Is it designed to keep the "base" on edge and angry all they time? It is brilliant manipulation now that I think about it.
This article is nothing but anti- Russian propaganda meant to further the neocon agenda by getting Americans worked up over nothing. This island has been in Russian possession since 1924. Daddy Bush recognized that it was a Russian possession in 1991 with the signing of the USSR-USA Maritime Boundary Agreement
I accept your answer. I also read there is an island with a similar name.
I'm not freaked out. Are you?

LOL! But clearly these emails originate from someone or some group - with an agenda I presume - and then emailed out to millions of old "get off my lawn" lawn types. To what purpose?
Oh now, don't go letting the air out of their football.
