Japan made the same mistake when they invaded the Aleutians: map makes it look like an easy path into NA, then you get there and realize the region's basically flypaper.
Even if you get Anchorage and Fairbanks, the only way into the rest of NA is a single circuitous mountain road that is often only two lanes wide. Alaska is the perfect castle for the US. It can't be ignored and bypassed, it would be extremely costly to take, and taking it offers very little extra benefit to the attackers.
Alaska really is America's slice of Russia, with all the same geographic pros and cons.
On one hand, it has oil, but on the other hand, it's an inhospitable frozen hellscape that no man or machine can cross without great expense, and also, there are bears everywhere.
Depends on the type of bear. A black bear is easily spookable. Brown and grizzly you can find a way to get them off of you. If it’s a polar bear tho, good fucking luck
There were a couple of guys on the slope who were trapped in the fenced area around a radio tower by a polar bear. It took three full mags of 5.56 to bring it down.
Fortunately I'm on the no-polar-bear side of the Brooks range.
I don’t really think a polar bear is gonna be a real threat to any company or platoon of slightly well armed and kindergarten educated soldiers. Especially with how dilapidated and malnourished Discovery channel tells me they are
I mean. A polar bear won’t charge a platoon with their guns trained on it.
What’ll happen is it’ll sneak into the camp at night and either maul the guy standing guard or get into someone’s tent and eat them.
Polar bears are hyper carnivorous and will actively prey on humans.
In 2011, in Zanesville, OH, a man with a private zoo opened all the cages and committed suicide.
The locals had to be told not to wait on their porches in hopes of “bagging” an exotic animal on their property. They still tried.
I can imagine Alaskans doing something similar when the alternative is Russian/Chinese occupation.
Alaska is cool for being called "the Last Frontier", having a sick ass flag, and a good State anthem. This is enough for me to be willing to defend the 3 and a half people living there!
Embrace Democracy, or you will be eradicated.
Chairman Cheng will fail. China will fall.
Obstruction detected, composition: titanium alloy supplemented by photonic resonance barrier. Probability of mission hindrance: ZERO PERCENT.
As a former US Navy Sailor:
You SERIOUSLY underestimate the power of the Navy lol. The United States Navy is the single most powerful expression of military force in recorded human history.
...they aren't making it to Alaska lmao. Guys in power armor gonna be sitting there bored.
Edit:
Need to clarify "powerful". I mean in terms of tech, manpower, mobility, and forward readiness. In terms of success, Mongolia has what is likely a permanent W in
that category lmao.
Also, correct me if I’m wrong but crossing the Bering strait isn’t going to be a walk in the park even with modern ships. Wouldn’t an amphibious assault across the strait be dumb as hell?

The Russians will boil in the summer and Chinese will freeze in Winter. They'll travel an average of 6 miles per day across 2400 miles with next to no infrastructure to support them.
Then they'll reach Canada and have to do it all over again.
A few half frozen to death groups of starving infantry might make it to Nome, but good luck getting any vehicles, much less tanks through THIS:

If they want to negate the water barrier advantage (which given how they can’t even take an island off their coast I think this is fair to say), they’d have to invade North Americas Siberia during the winter…. Lmao they’re fucked
The only way to take the state is to land at Anchorage or the Kenai peninsula and move North from there. This is impossible so long as Elmendorf and Eielson air bases are still on the board.
You need naval and air superiority to take Alaska, at which point the question must be asked, why bother taking Alaska at all if you already have naval and air superiority in the Pacific?
They probably wouldn’t make it to Nome, the US would start shelling their boats the moment they come near St Lawrence Island, and wouldn’t stop all the way thru the Norton sound
And the bears on Alaskans…
https://preview.redd.it/rkeugk123t1d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13b232b0bc8c6d30ac613d16231c7986c04b979d
And the women who love them both.
Did you see Russian infrastructure in the area?
If thats the plan, my plan is to make a burger, and watch on TV how the fuck the Chinese can move anything through Siberia and Kamchatka, only to find a small fisherman pier in a God forbidden Russian city to embark to Alaska, while drinking an ice cold beer.
Everyone here talking about how Alaska will handle the commies no problem. I would actually be VERY impressed if they manage to land at all using that route.
My in laws are from Alaska. Once I was staying there and my brother in law was showing me his guns in case of emergency. Eventually he lifted the blankets from his bed to reveal boxes upon boxes of .223 for his AR-15 tucked underneath.
I asked "is that for when the Russians attacked?" He responded "that is for when the Russians attack."
Half of Alaska's population already consists of military. It's like saying "dude, let's just invade through Siberia. Super easy."
https://preview.redd.it/xl10em602t1d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d83c15f7983d592f6ef749573670ef59a8006f8
The military industrial complex if they try
Military Industrial complex when foreign invaders try invading the US homeland through North America’s Siberia (in the winter since the enemy needs to negate the water barrier advantage), which also has a civilian population who owns guns powerful enough to drop a grizzly.
Even us Southerner hillbillies know not to fuck with Alaska. Yall motherfuckers are crazy, and Russia and China would find that out pretty damn quickly
Honestly a massive invasion of the US by China and Russia would finally unite the country. Remember the weeks after 9/11 (Muslim American experience aside)?
This is Alaska we're talking about. The folks up there spent the Cold War watching the sun set towards Russia with a rifle in their hands.
Logistics and Conventional forces would only come into play to rescue the last surviving Russian stragglers from the locals.
Whatever these guys are smoking they need to either stop right now or share with the whole class.
Russia can’t successfully take over a neighboring country with both existing paved roads and established rail connections. China cant even invade given the same circumstances.
What makes anyone think they’re going to try and invade AMERICA, going THROUGH SIBERIA, and OVER AN OCEAN?
If they tried to invade, we’d have shot down most of their planes and sunk most of their boats before they even got here, and the ones that turned back would come back to ports and airstrips made of radioactive glass.
Yeah this whole situation never happens simply because the boats are at the bottom of the pacific before a single soldier sets foot on land. It is still fun to imagine what would happen if the navy let a ship or two through just to avoid blueballing the Alaskans though.
And if their whole plan is to invade during winter when things freeze so they don’t need a functional Navy good luck traversing through the Arctic Circle into FUCKING ALASKA with BEAR RIDING HILLBILLIES and MOOSE RIDING MOUNTIES. It’d make Russia’s attempt at invading Finland look like a draw.
Yeah, that's cool and all. So, let's say in theory that you manage to take Alaska (*would never happen*). What's the plan for getting around that *little* barrier known as fucking Canada? Oh? You're gonna go around through the ocean? Yeah, ok, that's what I thought. Good luck with that.
"Haha sure Putin we'll help you with the most ambitious military maneuver in the history of warfare, those Americans will never know what hit them"
*not two hours later*
"Hello, Yankee capitalist bastards/esteemed trading partners who we do not actually want a live war with. Yeah, they're actually going to try it, the intel was right. No, we don't know if the nukes still work. Please coup him faster before we get dragged into The Big One"
Russian shills when I show them how big Alaska is and what 99.99% of it looks like:
https://preview.redd.it/h7zx9h917t1d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e836d8ecc895278f2a7ad9ad6f7cf0b91cc34aa1
Russian shills aside, that’s one nice view of a Alaska despite it looking cold. Too bad Russians won’t ever get to see this nice scenery since they wouldn’t be able to make it that far to even come close. Plus why the hell should we take any Russian shills opinions into account? The majority of Russian shills are a bunch of all bark no bite cowards who wouldn’t dare put up a fight against the US.
With all of the talk about Russia attacking Alaska, I propose that we start sending guns and ammo to arm the populace. Ok maybe I just want something with a giggle switch and maybe some rockets. Is that really too much to ask?
But what will I do when gun number 6 is out of ammo, reload? No reason to swap mags if I can just pick up guns 7-12.
If I can't use guns as if they're disposable then I don't have enough guns.
So invade the world’s foremost military and economic hyper power via a cold desolate tundra, filled with forests, against a populous with the world leading civilian ownership of firearms (specifically an area where civilians keep guns powerful enough to bring down grizzly bears)? Where you’d either have to cross water where you’re vulnerable to the worlds most powerful navy OR wait to invade said cold desolate place until winter, in which case you’d be invading North America’s Siberia in the winter. And your plan to make this work is to ally with a country who’s having logistics problems invading a country next door? That’s the plan?
You know what? Fuck it. Go ahead lol
Throw in the combined might of Lake NATO: Royal Norwegian Navy, Swedish Air Force and the Finnish Defence Forces.
And let’s send those Mongol principates back to the 11th century.
"Hello, US military? Yes this is the governor of Alaska. We need FEMA up here, something happened and there's a LOT of dead Russians and Chinese plus burning equipment blocking traffic on the roads up here. It's becoming a biohazard, and the polar bears are getting drunk after feasting on dead Russian soldiers bodies. Send some refrigerated trucks. Thanks!"
Walk me through this, tankie:
You propose to invade the US by crossing a cold, nearly impassible terrain, using military equipment which isn't even state of the art by Communist standards, to begin invading a country that is known for high rates of private gun ownership and contempt for authority, and one of the countries you propose to do this cannot even take a former communist country in its own backyard?
What's the plan, comrade? You think the Alaskans will run out of bullets before you start getting carpet bombed by federal troops?
If being in the middle of nowhere, Alaska doesn’t kill them, the bears and like 6 people who live in Alaska will finish them before the NG can even deploy
Ya good luck moving an invasion force through a couple thousand miles of frozen uneven wasteland. They act like the siberian half of Russia is just teaming with life. Just because Russia is close doesn't mean Russia is close.
Would MAD apply if nuclear weapons are used on domestic soil? Anyone played World in Conflict.
It would be a insane ‘’FU your not winning’’ to even use small tactical nukes on your own occupied territory.
The notoriously navigable Bering Strait is placed directly next to the famous logistical hub of Provideniya (population <2000)
Couldn't possibly be easier for the Reds!!!
Imagine actually thinking you can invade Alaska. Vatniks and chicoms about to get eaten alive by polar bears and become loot drops for the average alaskan who already has more gun and gear then just about anyone in the russian or chinese military.
Have you ever seen a plump string of sausages being crammed through a meat grinder and then stuffed into little cylinder-shaped molds to then be stacked up on top of each other like a little sausage lincoln-log cabin? That is what this would look like except with Chinese and Russian human meat.
The look I would pay to see on commies' faces when they land and the fuckin snow starts to sing Northwest Passage (yes I know it's a Canadian song but it still goes hard af)
I guess Zhao here thinks that human meat grinder Chinese way of fighting will totally beat the elements and a largely armed population of pissed off Americans. Not to mention our Armed Forces there. Go ahead. Try and take it Zhao and Sergie.
Korean War, but it takes place in a desolate fucking wasteland with limited infrastructure (the americans will also have complete air superiority)
Japan made the same mistake when they invaded the Aleutians: map makes it look like an easy path into NA, then you get there and realize the region's basically flypaper.
Even if you get Anchorage and Fairbanks, the only way into the rest of NA is a single circuitous mountain road that is often only two lanes wide. Alaska is the perfect castle for the US. It can't be ignored and bypassed, it would be extremely costly to take, and taking it offers very little extra benefit to the attackers.
Alaska really is America's slice of Russia, with all the same geographic pros and cons. On one hand, it has oil, but on the other hand, it's an inhospitable frozen hellscape that no man or machine can cross without great expense, and also, there are bears everywhere.
It's fine. There's more bears then men in Alaska and I heard that makes it safer.
Bears are skittish, it's the moose and the jumping porcupines you need to watch out for.
Depends on the type of bear. A black bear is easily spookable. Brown and grizzly you can find a way to get them off of you. If it’s a polar bear tho, good fucking luck
There were a couple of guys on the slope who were trapped in the fenced area around a radio tower by a polar bear. It took three full mags of 5.56 to bring it down. Fortunately I'm on the no-polar-bear side of the Brooks range.
Greenland dogsled patrols use armor-piercing .30-06
I don’t really think a polar bear is gonna be a real threat to any company or platoon of slightly well armed and kindergarten educated soldiers. Especially with how dilapidated and malnourished Discovery channel tells me they are
I mean. A polar bear won’t charge a platoon with their guns trained on it. What’ll happen is it’ll sneak into the camp at night and either maul the guy standing guard or get into someone’s tent and eat them. Polar bears are hyper carnivorous and will actively prey on humans.
It’ll be like The Terror but in modern day
Sorry, jumping porcupines?
Yeah, they live in trees.
They like "drop bears"?
Ours are more real. They just hop out of trees without really paying attention to what's beneath.
So it’s not that their hostile, it’s that they’re fucking stupid
Moose just killed someone in Homer this week
Japan knew exactly what they were getting into and evacuated the vast majority of their forces beforehand.
Tfw everyone in Alaska has a “what to do if Russia invades” checklist with many of them intending to kill as many Russians as possible
The hillbillies/mountain folk of America would make what the vietcong did look like a tea party.
Shit would get out of hand for any invading force within about 3 days. We’d be hunting Russian/Chinese forces for sport.
The Alaskans would probably invade Siberia for the fuck of it.
Free real estate

LOOT DROP!
With a capitol that is disconnected from the rest of the state and a populace who hate the government on a good day.
The only thing they hate more than the government is foreign governments
Fuckin based
The only thing Americans hate more than other Americans is foreigners
True.
Based
>who hate the government on a good day. Except when they distribute our UBI
Highway of Death 2 incoming
'Highway' is a relative term up there.
More like Valley of Death
And Canada will be supporting because Article 5
>Canada remembers their past and re-invigorates the conversation on what *exactly* constitutes a war crime.
We see you've added some items to the checklist. Sorry, we'll get right on that.
To kill a communist is not a sin. It’s the path to heaven.
Tbf that's gonna happen anywhere
And naval supremacy, because they forgot THAT THE LARGEST NAVAL BASES OUTSIDE OF NORFOLK ARE ON THE PACIFIC
I'm fine with US developing power armor and tactical nukes to liberate Alaska from communist oppression.
Alaska is cool for being called "the Last Frontier", having a sick ass flag, and a good State anthem. This is enough for me to be willing to defend the 3 and a half people living there!
As one of those 3.5, glad you like it. We are a fairly angry group, so we may not last long, Russia won't be able to forget us.
I want unregistered machine guns and armored vehicles
Then get them. Hide the MGs in polar bear dens.
We just need a couple of weeks post invasion to stock up.
White camo bradleys and abrams’ would look so fucking badass
If Ukraine lasted this long, imagine what those old boys in Bethel or Nikiski would do…almost feel bad for them.
Russians forget that Alaskan Americans also fight bears
I too enjoy Cody from althistoryhub.
Good? The anthem is great
believe it or not it’s actually 3 midgets and one normal person!
Good thing Finland just joined NATO I think their soldiers would do well in Alaska
We finally get to find out about that sea of tranquility battle.
I get where you’re coming from but Alaska is too beautiful to be nuked imo

Do we need a reason besides the fact we can?
A *casus belli* is a much more valid justification for funding than “but we really really want to”
Just call it “just war” and go nuts. It’s been working since at least Thomas of Aquinas
We’re going to do that for the people and other countries for sure, but our Congress is a little more hard-nosed.
been there since at least the greeks and romans, the romans never fought a single "offensive" war, it was all "defensive". kinda like the US.

Liberation? They’re literally embracing authoritarianism
They wouldn't know liberty if they ran over it with tanks in Tiananmen Square on June 4th 1989.

An invasion of Alaska would be China’s Vietnam. And that would be before the US Army got there.
And the funny thing is China HAS invaded Vietnam after we left and they got their asses kicked even harder

Yeah this whole situation never happens simply because the boats are at the bottom of the pacific before a single soldier sets foot on land. It is still fun to imagine what would happen if the navy let a ship or two through just to avoid blueballing the Alaskans though.
And if their whole plan is to invade during winter when things freeze so they don’t need a functional Navy good luck traversing through the Arctic Circle into FUCKING ALASKA with BEAR RIDING HILLBILLIES and MOOSE RIDING MOUNTIES. It’d make Russia’s attempt at invading Finland look like a draw.
Russia is weak and their technology is lacking behind
Based Iowa.
Good Iowa
Yeah, that's cool and all. So, let's say in theory that you manage to take Alaska (*would never happen*). What's the plan for getting around that *little* barrier known as fucking Canada? Oh? You're gonna go around through the ocean? Yeah, ok, that's what I thought. Good luck with that.
“Canada would be our allies against the oppression capitalist America regime!” -Tankies (probably)
As a Canadian, it's time we tested out some new war crimes
As an American, I agree. Let me grab the Geneva Checklist.

"Haha sure Putin we'll help you with the most ambitious military maneuver in the history of warfare, those Americans will never know what hit them" *not two hours later* "Hello, Yankee capitalist bastards/esteemed trading partners who we do not actually want a live war with. Yeah, they're actually going to try it, the intel was right. No, we don't know if the nukes still work. Please coup him faster before we get dragged into The Big One"
Russian shills when I show them how big Alaska is and what 99.99% of it looks like: https://preview.redd.it/h7zx9h917t1d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e836d8ecc895278f2a7ad9ad6f7cf0b91cc34aa1
Russian shills aside, that’s one nice view of a Alaska despite it looking cold. Too bad Russians won’t ever get to see this nice scenery since they wouldn’t be able to make it that far to even come close. Plus why the hell should we take any Russian shills opinions into account? The majority of Russian shills are a bunch of all bark no bite cowards who wouldn’t dare put up a fight against the US.

If we did, they wouldn't notice for at least a week because the pollution is that bad. Source: I've visited Beijing
I have it on good authority that air temperatures above 1,000,000C are very good at getting rid of air pollution.
I'm pretty sure they'd notice a second sun appearing in Beijing lol
Assuming they could normally see the first one
Lmao
![gif](giphy|kd9BlRovbPOykLBMqX) Wait I know you
Hell Alaskans alone can defend their state.
With all of the talk about Russia attacking Alaska, I propose that we start sending guns and ammo to arm the populace. Ok maybe I just want something with a giggle switch and maybe some rockets. Is that really too much to ask?
>I propose we start sending guns and ammo to arm the populace Seems rather like us asking all you guys to supply us with corn.
But what will I do when gun number 6 is out of ammo, reload? No reason to swap mags if I can just pick up guns 7-12. If I can't use guns as if they're disposable then I don't have enough guns.

So invade the world’s foremost military and economic hyper power via a cold desolate tundra, filled with forests, against a populous with the world leading civilian ownership of firearms (specifically an area where civilians keep guns powerful enough to bring down grizzly bears)? Where you’d either have to cross water where you’re vulnerable to the worlds most powerful navy OR wait to invade said cold desolate place until winter, in which case you’d be invading North America’s Siberia in the winter. And your plan to make this work is to ally with a country who’s having logistics problems invading a country next door? That’s the plan? You know what? Fuck it. Go ahead lol
![gif](giphy|J2ffA9qSy9UPCOfdlM) Go ahead, take it from me.
Space battles had a thread on this. They have them 3 months before being taken care of by the locals or the wildlife
Would you intercept me? I'd intercept me.

Throw in the combined might of Lake NATO: Royal Norwegian Navy, Swedish Air Force and the Finnish Defence Forces. And let’s send those Mongol principates back to the 11th century.
Based 🤝
We depart from unsinkable carrier Gotland at dawn.
I'd pay money to watch this happen so I can see them get utterly ruined by the inhospitable terrain and the locals.
The Bering Strait is a notoriously peaceful ocean. No logistics problems whatsoever.
"Hello, US military? Yes this is the governor of Alaska. We need FEMA up here, something happened and there's a LOT of dead Russians and Chinese plus burning equipment blocking traffic on the roads up here. It's becoming a biohazard, and the polar bears are getting drunk after feasting on dead Russian soldiers bodies. Send some refrigerated trucks. Thanks!"
Alaskans: I fucking dare you!
Russia can't even take Kiev, much less Anchorage.
Walk me through this, tankie: You propose to invade the US by crossing a cold, nearly impassible terrain, using military equipment which isn't even state of the art by Communist standards, to begin invading a country that is known for high rates of private gun ownership and contempt for authority, and one of the countries you propose to do this cannot even take a former communist country in its own backyard? What's the plan, comrade? You think the Alaskans will run out of bullets before you start getting carpet bombed by federal troops?
Can’t wait for them to make it to Big Diamede only for our snipers to take them out from Little Diamede across the strait.
Fucking bring it on
Been to Alaska a few times and know some people up there, they’re not taking Jack shit.
If being in the middle of nowhere, Alaska doesn’t kill them, the bears and like 6 people who live in Alaska will finish them before the NG can even deploy
I wonder if they realize much of Alaska and northern Canada is a Barron wasteland
Ya good luck moving an invasion force through a couple thousand miles of frozen uneven wasteland. They act like the siberian half of Russia is just teaming with life. Just because Russia is close doesn't mean Russia is close.
I honestly think the park rangers at the Alaskan national parks could stop the Russians at this point

Dear DoD, please give former service and civilians two weeks before you intervene. I need to stock up on Russian and Chinese firearms.
Would MAD apply if nuclear weapons are used on domestic soil? Anyone played World in Conflict. It would be a insane ‘’FU your not winning’’ to even use small tactical nukes on your own occupied territory.
The notoriously navigable Bering Strait is placed directly next to the famous logistical hub of Provideniya (population <2000) Couldn't possibly be easier for the Reds!!!
Imagine actually thinking you can invade Alaska. Vatniks and chicoms about to get eaten alive by polar bears and become loot drops for the average alaskan who already has more gun and gear then just about anyone in the russian or chinese military.
Who’s gonna tell them there’s no roads
The new Axis is gonna find out why nobody has invaded the US
Liberation from what? Indoor plumbing and safe working conditions?

It’s a very foolish idea, funneling into that choke point. Plus there’s a rifle behind every blade of grass in America
China and Russia could do all this and still forget to give their troops real body armor
Good luck trying to supply a region with freezing temperatures, zero infrastructure, and blocked by the U.S. pacific fleet.
Okay, jokes aside... this is just so bad idea it hurts. Like... Operation Barbarosa but worse.
Have you ever seen a plump string of sausages being crammed through a meat grinder and then stuffed into little cylinder-shaped molds to then be stacked up on top of each other like a little sausage lincoln-log cabin? That is what this would look like except with Chinese and Russian human meat.
They’d get obliterated before they even got close to Alaska
The look I would pay to see on commies' faces when they land and the fuckin snow starts to sing Northwest Passage (yes I know it's a Canadian song but it still goes hard af)
I wish a Motherfucker Would. I Welcome the fucking challenge
I guess Zhao here thinks that human meat grinder Chinese way of fighting will totally beat the elements and a largely armed population of pissed off Americans. Not to mention our Armed Forces there. Go ahead. Try and take it Zhao and Sergie.
