    This is Mexico today, not 1800s Mexico.

    Alaska was Russian until tsar who like all other tsars was brilliantly competent and sold territory larger than Texas 7 million to USA, Alaska would be SSR when USSR reforms.

      Alaska was not Russian. Alaska was colonized by an imperialist power to exploit its natural resources.

      Also you cannot claim to say that we are going off modern day Mexico and then immediately say that Alaska should be given to modern day Russia on the off chance the USSR reforms.

      You also didn’t answer my question of why shouldn’t the land you gave to Mexico not be independent indigenous territory? Mexico only had that land due to inheriting it from the Spanish Empire, so why should they get it back? Why not make it independent?
