Why are people now thinking a Russian invasion of the US or Europe is more likely now than during the Cold War?

France is further from England than Russia is from Alaska.

Proximity has consequences.

Nutmeg made a good point....  I highly doubt any Russian troops are just sort of chillin in East Siberia ready to pounce on West Alaska.  it'd take weeks of preparation by the Russians to get the personnel in place in order to pull this off.  I'm not sure what they'd do once they got to W. Alaska, either, but perhaps you can answer that for me.

Or why they would try something the Soviet Union never did.

Good point. After all I chastised people for arguing with Hawkeye.

This thread is downright hilarious, and a good example of why Palin is now seen as a joke.

I don't know which was stupider:

1-The idea that a Russian invasion of Alaska is even more remotely plausible or:
2-The idea that in the event of one Obama would surrender Alaska and not fight back.

That sort of stuff was hinted at without going into detail, probably because the entire premise was so ridiculous and stupid it didn't deserve a serious refutation. Same with Russia invading Germany (which some blue avatar was seriously talking about earlier.)
