      first lets suck all the fucking oil out of it. Then sell it to those fucking Eh-holes (Canadians) or those japs

      We don’t need to sell all of it, just enough to make Texas the biggest state in the country again.

      Gotta convince all the environmental pussies that drilling for oil up there won’t kill the 5 polar bears roaming around up there… Then we will have “polar bear wars” on discovery channel with a bunch of hippies trying to stop the Japanese from killing polar bears up there and acting like they serve a purpose other than being useless.

      Japan is broke as fuck if you haven’t opened your eyes since the asset bubble in ’86. Sell it to the Chinese – they’re headed down the same path…

      definitely sell it to China, they already own half of our debt… and they’ll be bankrupt in 10 years so they’ll never collect on the trillions of dollars in American bonds they own. Anyways, has anyone else noticed that as soon as we had our first black president our credit score got lowered?

      Well the environmentalist are concerned about the migration patterns of the animals especially the caribou. They say the pipe line messes up the migration pattern but when in fact the animals flock to these pipe lines because it gives off heat during the winter months. – think it would be a win win for both sides

      Love wombraiders’ comment about the Chinese. So fucking sick of this sensationalist bullshit. But anyway, yeah, Alaska has almost nothing to give us besides oil…might as well make some use of it

      @StayFrattyAlum Have you see our government lately? We’ve gone completely GDI and this is the ultimate sign.

      Quick question: why does the Federal Government have the right to sell the homes and property of our citizens living in Alaska?

      Alaska is one of the biggest providers for ‘merica. Yeah ANWR was closed off but the fucking democratic hippies of my state think that the oil is in the southern half of the reserve the “beautiful half” its just fucking tundra ugly as shit. the oil is up north. FUCK DEMOCRATS< FUCK THE JAPS, KEEP 'MERICA WITH ALL 50 STATES AND FUCK TEXAS

    This is an absolutely horrible suggestion from a fiscal standpoint and it would never happen.

    Yeah lets get rid of an oil rich, dependably republican-voting state adjacent to a potentially hostile Euroasian threat to pay off our debts to countries which have neither the balls nor the means to collect (as of now.) This makes sense to me, from economic, geopolitical, and electoral positions, at least while I’m drunk.

      Honestly, I could not have said it better myself. In fact, no person in their right mind could say anything better. The US should literally do as it pleases, because China will never collect its money, which would never happen because it would hurt them more than they could ever gain from an engagement.

      Bottom line, the US is still the center of the world and im still too drunk to taste this chicken.
