Where’s the RISK guy telling us all that we need to seize Kamchatka because it is the key security for the United States?

They’re having a good time about it. They’re downhill skiing from the apartment rooftop, holding snow-shoveling competitions and teaching teens how to drive knowing the car can’t actually move anywhere when it’s buried in snow. Mentally, they are adapting well.

Kamchatka is NOT a colony of Russia. It is part of Russia.
Greenland is NOT a part of Denmark, it is a colony of Denmark.
Falkland Islands is NOT a part of UK. It is a colony of UK.

You need to brush up on geopolitical facts. therwise you sound like a left liberal democrat.

Must be climate Change.

Lake-effect snow being picked up by cold air over Lake Michigan or Lake Erie just can’t compare to Ocean-effect snow being picked up by arctic air over the vast Northern Pacific Ocean.

I grew up in Buffalo, went through the Blizzard of 77, and have lived in the snowbelt in CNY, and have never seen those amounts of snow.

That is unreal....

Will it affect the production of Kamchatka vodka?

I am not sure about that, but I bet it impacts the consumption.

We had a January blizzard in Omaha in the 1970’s and blowing snow cover many balconies. On the top floor, there was about 4” of the sliding glass door that you could see, the rest buried in snow. While I was watching, I saw the door slide open about 6”, a hand came out with a Frisbee and started flicking the snow off the top. This continued for about 5 minutes with almost no effect. The hand withdrew and we never saw them again until late March.

We already have Alaska. That’s the bottleneck to the North America set of territories. Kamchatka doesn’t help us as it is open to attack from three sides, doesn’t contribute to the set, and leaves Alaska wide open if you defend forward in Kamchatka and lose.🤔

We need Greenland because it’s part of the North America set of territories. We would still need Northwest Territories and Mexico to lock up North America but acquiring Greenland contributes to that set. Kamchatka does not.🤓

It looks like the drift is covering a whole highrise with drifts to the side of another one about 6 stories high.

Did they get the banana harvest completed before the storm hit?
