Alaskans are smart

I always thought we should bomb Canada ... they have been pretending to be a real country for long time ... it's a CONSPIRACY!

Futhermore, we should build a nothern border fence there as well to prevent those rampaging British Columbian's. On second thought, if the dollar keeps falling we may have to immigrate.

That wont matter because by then we'd all be NAU anyways. May as well pick a warm climate. I hear boomers are retiring in Mexico.

Wait until Peak Oil in the middle east. IMO Alaska is our insurance and the whole world will be hurting once oil runs out in the middle east. More than enough motive to invade. There's of course many more variables, but from a high high level it makes sense.

They are going to be quite disappointed with that "4 - person home in the suburbs of Mexico City." But It's all their $40mil retirement plan can get them anymore.

Alright, now this is just silly. Raptors alone guarantee our air superiority, nothing the ruckies have can compete with it (F-15 are going off the frontline these days anyway, and if you think they're falling out of the sky look at the state of Russia's fighter force.) No country has a ghost of a chance invading Alaska, or really any part of the United States.

Not true.

They help to guarantee it, but they aren't everything when it comes to a sustainable air superiority effort. Our tankers are dying, too, for instance. Fighters are just one small part of the whole. Besides, we only purchased enough for a few operational squadrons... then we ran out of dough. The current engagements have taken all of our money and focus. (And the Sukoys should not be underestimated.)

No one country would stand much of a chance...
