France is further from England than Russia is from Alaska.

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.
why are we arguing with this moron?
Good point. After all I chastised people for arguing with Hawkeye.
