Do you REALLY need to make a poll about every little comment you disagree with?

Really?! Yes, could you give a quote?
Not that it would surprising, considering the general Russophobia and ignorance here.

I found the quote:

Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

Uh, the DUmmies and the Kos-Kiddies were claiming that it was impossible to see Russia from Alaska.

They failed geography.

And Palin's answer makes sense. Russia is an aggressive menace, that is less than 3 miles from the United States. Putin is a quasi-dictator who wants to return Russia to its heyday as the Soviet Union.

As Alaskan Governor, Palin is quite aware of the threat that an aggressive Russia would pose. If the Russians ever do decide to invade, Alaska is the first target.

Pointing out how close the nations actually are is quite important. It lays out to the American people that Russia isn't way over there in Europe.

Russian troops could be on American soil in minutes if Putin so desired.

But it's Ghostmonkey, so it's not like a real forum member said it.  He's what, 14 years old?  It's also ridiculous that Putin keeps trops ready in the arctic ready to invade some Alaskan fishing islands that no one cares about.

Palin is not the deterrent....Mr. Triton is.

I doubt anyone thinks that BRTD.

However, I have to say -- if Russia DID invade Alaska, I suspect Governor Palin might kill Ivan and field dress him on the spot.

I wonder if Borscht-jerky is possible...

HAHA I remember the thread where Ghostmonkey was convincing us that Russia was going to take over by using faulty logic/1984 reagan campaign ads. And what's even more hilarious is that 3 people actually voted yes.

Why do we feed the trolls?  Shouldn't this kind of thing be deleted.

I have a feeling that Palin would just get Uncle Ted to appropriate several billions of dollars to build a ginormous "wall to nowhere" to protect Savoonga from Russia.

It depends on how one handles it.  Some people are much older and even more immature.

I think the main reason that Russia has not invaded Alaska is because Russia values itself as a nation.

     This. Russia invading Alaska would end with Russia being, ahem, ramrodded.

No. The people of Russia, and their leaders, value their lives...and the continuation of humanity.
