Russia's other land bridge

"I am sorry Putin, you cannot have Alaska back. Plus, if you want us to quit meddling in your war, try a withdrawal from Ukraine. We would be more than happy to focus our material support towards Taiwan, rather than Ukraine."

Because of our proxy entrance into this Ukrainian War, Russia is madder than hornets at us right now. I mean, it is one thing for Russia to fight against a much smaller country who has very little in their armory. It is quite another when Russia has to go up against some of the best armament in the world. The thing about sending M1 Abrams tanks to accompany the Leopard II tanks was about the last straw. Or was it? The ink was barely drying on the deal, when Zelenskyy asked about throwing a few F-16s in with the deal.

This has come out of Moscow more than once this past year. The Russians are thinking about taking back some of the territory, we "screwed" them out of. Alaska. Russia's other land bridge. "Seward's Folly" for us when we paid the Russians $7M back for Alaska back in 1867. That is about 2 cents an acre. Why would Russia give up territory so close, they could almost see Alaska from their east coast? Alaska is so close to Russia, and so far away from the United States.

Flash forward to today. Alaska is a real prize. Rich in resources, rich in natural beauty, and a mecca for folks in the lower states to come visit. We have been there. It is everything it was cracked up to me, and more so. 

But now Russia wants it back. To punish us, and to set history straight. When the Governor of Alaska was asked if he was worried about Russia's threat to take Alaska back, his words were short and to the point - "Come and get it". 

I am sorry Putin, you cannot have Alaska back. Plus, if you want us to quit meddling in your war, try a withdrawal from Ukraine. We would be more than happy to focus our material support towards Taiwan, rather than Ukraine.

One more thing should Russia ever get serious about messing with Alaska. Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, is bristling with F-22 Raptors. Not the fight Russia would want to pick. Just saying...
