Oh, I've no problem with suspending some disbelief, you should see some of the stuff I write.

What materials are out there that expand on what happened and what went down with the Soviet invasion of Alaska? Is it safe to assume they got bogged down? Though with the potential oil and mineral supplies up in Alaska I can see it as still quite a prize in the T2k world, even if the state of most of the machinery used to extract said oil and minerals, much less refine them, may yet be in question.
