Per Grok: “Yes, Alaska has sent military troops to the Aleutian Islands today. Specifically, 100 soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 11th Airborne Division, stationed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and Fort Wainwright, have been deployed to the Aleutian Islands. This deployment was in response to increased Russian and Chinese military activity near Alaska, aiming to bolster defense efforts in the region.”
This is normal. But I was seeing so many scare texts on X about this maneuver. It happens all the time, hence why I’m not worried. Looking for more butter to put on my popcorn!
I don’t know about that, but on a clear day, from Shishmaref (small Alaskan owned island between Alaska and Russia), you can see Russian landmass. Sarah Palin wasn’t wrong in using that euphemism.
Like when people lose their shit over trains carrying large amounts of military vehicles.

I too hail from Alaska. Many people of Russian decent here and Putin does care more for his people than either Biden or Kamala...
