Wulff wants Bombodrom in Alaska (German Army want to test bombs in Alaska)

So far the news is only in German language.

To sum it up... because German lefties and enviros succesfully protested a military testing area ("Bombodrom") a center-right German state prime minister (Wulff of Lower Saxonia) suggested testing bombardments and ordninance in Alaska.

Key quote:"It doesn't have to be necessairly in Germany."

This is insane. They can't test for their own military in their own country because of some enviromentalists? Were do they want to maneuver in Alaska? ANWR?

Here an online Translation (probably with several mistranslations):

Nobody is asking for US territory. Alaska was mentioned as an example of a sparsely populated region.

Maybe its just an excuse to go up there and see Sarah. :)
