Why does USA occupy a vaguely dick shaped territory in the middle of Russia lol

Anyways while it is good geopolitics and too late to not have Russia as an ally now, it is a sad thing that we don't have the aesthetically pleasing borders with Haishenwai in it and probably will never have because with Russia serving an increasingly larger role and eventually headed towards becoming an Union state with China, it is not possible to make territorial demands.
