Sadist praying for war. Why are some people wicked? Russia is already fighting against Ukraine- people are destitute, killed and running for safety. All you want is Russia to fight the US. Just imagine you and your family in the middle of such war. Repent from being a sadist.

It's only 53 miles but in practical terms the distance from Alaska to New York is like traveling from Kano to Cameroon, more than that... Alaska was part of Russia until they sold it to US, though they weren't aware of the presence of oil in the land... This is one of the reasons why US and Russia will be perpetual enemy.

Russia is geographically at advantage. It span across almost 3 continents, reason they said they dont need bases all over the world to strike any part of the Planet. Peace is all we want.

Russia spans only 2 continent. Most of Russia is in Asia. The remaining part is in Europe.

The US is the country at an advantage because it has military bases (in Asia) and NATO countries (housing US military asserts in Europe) that encircles Russia.

So why are they afraid of Ukraine joining NATO, when the chief NATO country is their neighbour?

Access to the Black Sea then to Mediterranean and a base in Pacific ocean where they can have more bases in Europe and middle east

This is misleading, how can the west and east be at each other’s back?? You obviously got to the end of the map and your smart phone showed you where it started again!! You should understand this, if US was that close to Russia so why are they attacking Ukraine for wanting to join nato??

If not, Russia would have shared direct land borders with usa

Wrong! Russia would have shared land border with Canada, not usa. FYI, there's no land border between Alaska and mainland usa.

Many never knew, Ukraine is just a trap for Putin.

Most of you know nothing and you are blinded by sentiment, and at the same time failed to learn more.

In my opinion, Russia deliberately attacked Ukraine and Putin did this to study and note NATO reactions. He also waited patiently, allowing them to shipload Military hardwares into Ukraine before attacking the warehouse and foreigners that brought them. If you think Putin is stupid you have to rethink this.

Oga you're right in your argument.. don't let the OP turn your brain upside down.. compare it yourself with the globe picture I'll post down here.. compare the time zone and see how the op just lied to everyone on this thread.. if they are 53 mile apart why is the time zone not just 3 to 4 hours different from each other..
Check the time zone well.. you'll see a grey side of the globe that's the part backing the sun.. I fit send you the GIF now self. Can you see the foolish OP is a liar?
Oga calm down russia doesnt have one time zone.There is no uniform time in Russia. Time zone of russia spans across two continents. With up to 7hours difference.
If time in moscow is 8am for example, it is only russian time for the european russian cities close to uk or in east europe eg st.petersburg, Kazan,sochi, Time for another person in the asian or siberian parts of same russia can be like 1pm. Cities approaching the asian continent side of Russia like chelyabinsk, etc are on another time zone entirely.
European cities time zone in Russia is GMT+3 (Moscow /european cities time)
Novosibirsk cities time Russia(GMT +7)
Yakutsk time (GMT+9)
Irkutsk time (GMT +8 )
Samara time (GMT +4)
Kaliningrad (GMT+2)
Petripavlosk-kamchatski time zone Russia(GMT +12).
Vladivostok (GMT +11)
Russia has several time zones.Thats why the world cup was restricted to russian cities in or close to european time zones
Re: See How Close Russia Is To USA Geographically: Photo by Keegan: 8:46am On Mar 15, 2022
For your information Russia can boast of more than 3 strong Military Bases hidden under the thick ice of the Arctic. Also, another big project, an alternative but shorter trade route from Asia to Europe has been in the pipeline, this will affect the present routes greatly.

The Alaska itself was sold to US by Russia in 1867.
If not, Na only Canada go separate the contiguous US states from Russia.

I am quite sure that Russia will be regretting ever selling Alaska to US. The then US secretary encouraging and signing the deal then was seen as a foolish man (Seward folly), he is now being praised as a man of foresight later on
u research is 100% fact n I love that
