Alaska and the Summer Offensive
Yes, Russia keeps saying that they want Alaska back. I know, you know, they don’t have the means. This will not stop Russia. If they feel a weakness on our part, they will carry out their dream to bring Alaska back to the motherland.

▪️Quote: “As they say, “10 secret signs of Putin’s preparation for an attack on the Alliance.” Do you know that this is not a joke at all? This, of course, is not the complete truth — not enough to attack NATO. But in the event of those threats that may come from NATO…
