People's Blog • Russia invades Alaska: UN, Allies urge restraint

For months, Russian president Vladimir Putin and his foreign secretary, Sergey Lavrov, have strenuously denied any intentions of conducting offensive military operations in Alaska. Nevertheless, Russian troops have landed in Unalaska, Sitka, and Prudhoe Bay opening up three axes of attack. At the same time, kalibr, kinzhal, and iskander missiles, all capable of carrying nuclear warheads, have been launched into Juneau and Anchorage destroying residential areas and power stations.

President Putin stated in a message broadcast on Russian media that the multi-pronged "special peacekeeping operation" was nonaggressive in nature and absolutely necessary because of "intolerable" western provocation that threatened Russia's security. "This is purely a matter of internal Russian politics," warned Putin, "and any interference with our peacekeeping operation can and will result in nuclear retaliation." Russian news host, Vladimir Solovyov, has announced that in one more week, Alaska will once again belong to Russia.

Russian secretary to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, stated that the goals of the operation were to rescue Alaska's Russian descended citizens from western oppression and to clear Alaska of Nazi extremists. "Once these objectives are obtained," said Nebenzya, "we will of course be more than willing to discuss a peaceful resolution to the issue." UN General Secretary, Antonio Guterres, has urged the United States to use restraint and refrain from any action that would potentially escalate the conflict. Staunch NATO allies, Viktor Orban and Recep Erdogan, have urged halting all military cooperation with the United States until all parties can agree upon a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

To gain historical context to the situation, Tucker Carlson interviewed eminent historian and Churchill scholar, Darryl Cooper. Cooper pointed out how America's dubious purchase of Alaska from Alexander II in 1867 amounted to "virtual extortion" as the Johnson administration "stole Alaska for a mere seven million dollars." Cooper went on to point out that Russia has had a historical claim to Alaska since 1784, and that America behaved arrogantly and provocatively by seizing Alaska. "Fascinating," squeaked Carlson who then went on to interview leading military analyst, Colonel MacGregor, who has written books. MacGregor pointed out how the Russian landing parties are supported by the "formidable" carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, which MacGregor described as impregnable. Kuznetsov is under tow, listing 15 degrees to port, and has had yet another fire break out on board, but is being used as a platform to launch cruise missiles into Alaskan cities. "There is nothing in our inventory that even compares with the Kuznetsov," said MacGregor, "so it's best to admit when we're beaten and make peace." Carlson concluded the interview by quoting Patrick Henry, '"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?' I think Patrick Henry would say that's a no brainer. No true patriot would provoke an adversary. Our founders would have chosen peace at any price."

After expressing concern that no help was forthcoming from the US military, Alaska's governor, Mike Dunleavy, has ordered all of Alaska's National Guard assets into action to hold off the Russian invasion. Dunleavy's response to the crisis has touched off outrage across various media channels. Joe Rogan commented, "Screw this guy! He wants to start World War Three!" Charlie Kirk commented, "Dear Russian people, we just want peace. It's only the war worshippers who want to prolong this conflict in Alaska. No more forever wars!" An editorial piece put it this way, "If Russia threatens us with nuclear blackmail, we give in - period. It's what Reagan would have done."

In Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene has called for defunding Alaska. "To reiterate, Alaska is not our 51st state," said Greene. "What does everybody think MAGA means? Make Alaska Great Again? I don't think so." Greene gestured to a map of the United States, "Lookit, Alaska is this tiny little country under California next to Hawaii. Is it worth starting World War III over that? Not one more penny for Alaska!" Other lawmakers have weighed in pointing out that the Aleutians are lost, and that Alaska has to face reality and cede some land so that a demilitarized zone could be set up in Alaska's western territories. "No one's denying Alaska's right to defend itself," said a congressman on condition of anonymity, "but Alaska must not do anything that would escalate the conflict like fighting back."

Governor Dunleavy is preparing to address a joint session of Congress in hopes of securing military support for Alaska.
