Invasion of Alaska

[Abbott Shaull]

Well I always wonder why the Soviet would invade Alaska for the last couple years. Watching the various series the History had aired about Alaska, it seemed pretty senseless for the lack of road network. Considering the Russia discovery of Alaska was a costly mistake in itself.

What would of made sense was if they were securing base to leapfrog down the west coast until the hit the populated areas of Western Canada and US. Locations such as Fort Wainwright and Whitehorse are so far off the beaten path, they are easier to bypass and let them come and attack you if they had chosen too.
