The Russians would have to commit a massive amount of their millitary if they could even hope to reclaim Alaskan soil as their own, and they know it. Unless they nuke us. Wishful think on the part of the Russkie economist.

ES, if AK went back to the Russians, America or whats left of it in this scenario would lose alot of natural resources as well as one of the largest shipping hubs between North America and the Orient. So how is that a good idea?

And by shear numbers alone, if the Mesicans wanted to they could over run Texas, Southern California, heck all of the border states. Wait they have been doing that for years.

Lizbud, a second civil war might be what is needed to fix what has gone wrong with the experiment that is the United States of America. Most Republics dont last more then 200 years if I remember my history correctly.
