    Lol, remember that Alaska is a very large oil producing area. You really think the US is just going to give up oil?

    0.0 I think they’d give up D.C. first.

        “Russia sold us Alaska for 2 cents on the acre, they’re getting it back for 3. This is a very good deal for us, tremendous. It’s a tremendous, good deal”

    If I was Russian, I’d worry less about the soldiers and more about the locals.

      It’s the mosquitos you have to worry about. They’re almost as big as a housecat in Alaska.

      Yes, they’ll talk you to death about being tough frontiersmen from their apartment in Anchorage.

      Yes, they’ll definitely shoot down their planes and missiles with rifles, and stop armored vehicles with their harsh words and survival instinct.

        You joke, but this exact shit happened in Ukraine during the early days of the Donetsk invasion, where dipshit Russians kept getting fucking schwacked by rural Ukrainian farmers. Also go read up on the US invasion of Vietnam and see how well that went, where a technologically superior force fought a bunch of fucking uneducated communist jungle peasants.

        You think Russia is hard to invade? Try Texas sized Switzerland with bears and moose.
