Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83782613 And their supply lines would be ungodly long. I don't see it happening. The battle for Alaska would be decided at sea. If China destroys the US Pacific fleet, Alaska is easy pickins' Not so fast there skippy. Alaska is very heavily armed and has plenty of nukes in silos everywhere, along with anti-missile missiles and lots of subs running about. Russia couldn't get close enough. Not even from the Bering Strait nor from Siberia towards the Diomede Islands, not from the Chukchi Sea either for that matter. Never going to happen and they already know this. Baghdad bob is just puffing pooter peter again. Last Edited by Unruly on 07/06/2022 08:39 PM "Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason" Mark Twain |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 81887851 United States 07/06/2022 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The United States was built my slaves, it was built by European wars. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81814281 Shit, we didn't even have to fund the. They just killed each other for fun. Countries sold their land. Thanks France, Thanks Russia. Immigrants fled, Thanks Europe. France said they were going to take back the Louisiana Purchase and then immediately surrendered before we could respond. That's not how I read it, in a history of Lewis and Clark. The Louisiana Territory belonged to Spain, not France. Doesn't that make sense? France wasn't in the south, it was up in Canada. Spain needed to sell it to pay its debts. We wanted to buy it from Spain, but Spain didn't want to sell it to us because it would make America too powerful on the continent. Instead it sold to France. Little did Spain know, Jefferson had worked a secret deal with France and, within a week, France flipped it to us for the same price as they bought it from Spain. So literally yes we did buy it from France, but the story is much more interesting. After this, Spain realized we were too powerful on this continent, sold us their remaining territory of Florida, and left. |

And now they're ready to stretch a supply line across Siberia, wipe out the US 5th and 7th fleets, and invade North America. Get off the vodka. |
