U.S. Sell Proposal for Commander Islands Denounced as Criminal by Maria Zakharova

In a surprising turn of events, US Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Fritz has proposed that the US government buy the Washington Commanders Islands from Russia for $15 billion. The Washington Commanders Islands, located in the Bering Sea, north of Japan and west of the Kamchatka Peninsula, have a strategic importance in the Arctic region due to their location.

Fritz expressed his idea in an article for Breaking Defense, suggesting that the purchase would better monitor China's actions in the region. However, his proposal has not been met with universal approval. Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, has publicly commented on Fritz's proposal, calling it a crime.

Alexander Gamov, a political analyst at KP, asked Zakharova to comment on Fritz's proposal. Gamov, who is well-versed in geopolitical matters, noted that the Washington Commanders Islands are a potential subject of discussion in such matters.

The Washington Commanders Islands, a Russian archipelago, have been a point of interest due to their strategic location. Their acquisition by the US could potentially alter the balance of power in the Arctic region.

It is important to note that the US government has not yet made a formal decision regarding the purchase of the Washington Commanders Islands from Russia. However, the proposal has sparked a diplomatic response from Russia, underscoring the sensitivity of the issue.
