Alaska is only 50 miles from Russia. It is less than that counting to Big Diomede Island. We have outrageous resources here. One gold mine is putting out 490,000 troy oz. a year. It is owned by the Japanese Summimoto Corp.
The Japanese in WWll were island hopping their way up the Aleutian Chain. The one road into Alaska was developed at that time.
Fortunately we have legislators and governorship of such an obscenely low intelligence and ability we do not have to be taken over by military force. They give it away.
One of the largest oil and gas projects in North America today is being built in the Arctic here. It is a partnership between a Russian oil company and Exxon.
Alaska was once owned by Russia. Like all neighbors of Russia the inhabitants here were brutalized.
This place has more airplanes per capita than any other place on earth. Because the place is so spread out and a minimal road system the air traffic here is amazing. Airstrips everywhere. Two major US Air Force Bases and old Stations scattered all over mostly shut down now.
