I find it so ironic that our two state senators are talking about “Arctic boarder security” for two Russians who landed their boat on a very small island owned by Alaska…. And yes, I’ll go there - the MSM did misstate Sarah Palin when she said “you can see Russia from my house”. She was speaking metaphorically that Alaska (American soil) is VERY close to Russia (approx 35 miles).
If you go out onto Little Diomede (Island of Alaska) and Big Diomede (Russian) yes, you actually can.
The "from my house" bit is not what she actually said, but is attributed to SNL.
