Gazprom wants to build a pipeline from Russia to Alaska.  

Negotiate?  What leverage are you suggesting the US use?  Its good looks?  

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

I'm not saying the U.S. has any leverage.

I'm saying if Paulson, on the behalf of the U.S., wants investment from Russia, then Medvedev should offer to buy Alaska back or at least secure it as collateral in case of U.S. default.
