I wasn’t sure whether to post this because of unnamed source, but I thought a discussion would be interesting.
If Russia wanted to take Alaska, they would wait for hitlery to get in and put the deplorables on the no-fly and terror watch lists and open up the fun camps for re-education.
Then, if they haven’t already done so, the Russians would infiltrate the Alaskan independence/secession movement and promise to open up oil drilling, restore free markets, and traditional values. Russia could create an independent Alaskan client/puppet state with treaties and military bases.
Still a lame thought.
Can’t happen with mathematical probability as the guide.
