North, to Alaska (and not Russia!)

"Our position on Russia remains the same. Nothing good will come out of invading Ukraine. And even less good will come out of invading Poland or Finland. Then if Russia ever invades Alaska, it will be Katie bar the door." 

Excuse me. You said what? You think you should take Alaska back, as it is part of Russia? Sure, why not. And while we are at it, lets tell the French they can have the Louisiana Purchase back for what we paid for it - $15,000,000. But the Russians have no plan to give us the $7,200,000 which we paid them for Alaska back in 1867. Nope. They want Alaska as reparations, for the economic sanctions we imposed on them over the war in Ukraine (and Crimea).

I suppose we should feel honored. I mean, the Russians have threatened Poland, Finland, and whomever else in NATO has Putin's ire. The fact he has not threatened to invade one of our sovereign states, we should wear like a badge of honor. What is next? Hawaii? Our mainland? I can hardly type right now, as I am shaking so hard.

What some military experts might be asking is this - once Ukraine is over, will Russia have anything punch left in his military? From what reports are, he is getting his butt handed to him. Not that Russia is losing, but this war of attrition is taking its toll. In any event, even if Russia made a move on Finland or Poland, Putin might find some stiff resistance.

It is not just NATO right now, which might be testing Putin's temper. On the news yesterday, it was reported the number of countries which are supplying material or humanitarian support to Ukraine is now 50. That is a whole lot of countries for Putin to threaten. Or, like he wants to do with Alaska - invade and conquer.

Eielson AFB in Alaska is bristling with F-35, 5th generation combat jets. In addition, Joint Base Elmendorf -Richardson has two squadrons of F-22 jets. In other words, Alaska will not just lay down and let Russia take it. But maybe Russia already knows this. It was just the vodka talking, when Russia said they wanted to invade Alaska. 

Our position on Russia remains the same. Nothing good will come out of invading Ukraine. And even less good will come out of invading Poland or Finland. Then if Russia ever invades Alaska, it will be Katie bar the door. 

So Vlad, start your cocktail hour early. Go visit your Dacha, and enjoy the scenery. Your days of taking Russia down this road to ruin are coming to an end. When the end happens, very few tears will be shed.
