Original Note:
The map incorrectly shows the state of Alaska as being part of Russia whilst it has in fact been part of USA since 1867 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska https://alaska.gov/ https://www.britannica.com/place/Alaska https://www.encyclopedia.com/places/united-states-and-canada/us-political-geography/alaska Moreover, it comes in contradiction with author’s self-proclaimed patriotism, peddling around Russia’s narratives to reclaim US regions https://thehill.com/policy/international/4423913-state-dept-putin-alaska-russia/ https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-laughs-off-reports-putin-eyeing-alaska-russia-former-real-estate-not-getting-it-back.amp https://www.newsweek.com/putin-decree-triggers-ominous-alaska-calls-territory-empire-soviet-union-1862689
