27. Why? Russia sold it to the US back in the 19th Century.

Sunday

It was called Seward's Folly at the time, 1867. The price was 7.2 million greenbacks. Sec'y Seward was ridiculed but he certainly has the last and huge laugh now as Alaska is worth thousands of times more withall of it's size and resources...and of course it's modern infrastructure that has been developed.

I doubt neither Russia of Canada can afford to buy it now.
