I'm not sure if this information has been featured in this thread or any others.

Apparently, The Russian leadership feels they have the right to reclaim what they feel is Russian property, namely the 49th state of the U.S, Alaska. Russia feels it belongs to them and they have the right to " reclaim " it as the U.S has seized Russian assets abroad. This is essentially retaliation against the U.S.

Quote: A prominent ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and member of Russia’s legislature threatened last week to invade Alaska and reclaim the former Russian territory. Vyacheslav Volodin said Russia could “take back” Alaska, the same language Moscow used to describe its invasion of Ukraine. Despite the bluster and Russia’s proximity to Alaska, Volodin’s threat is an utter fantasy, the incompetence of the Russian armed forces laid bare by the war in Ukraine.Russia’s invasion force would quickly run into a high-tech buzzsaw. The United States military in Alaska would be formidable even without reinforcements from any other state. The U.S. Army’s brand-new 11th Airborne Division is stationed in Alaska, and although not fully fitted out, its two available combat brigades have considerable striking power—and the ability to rapidly deploy by aircraft and helicopter.

The U.S. Air Force stations only its best fighters in Alaska, a mixed force of 36 F-22A Raptors and 54 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters. All are fifth-generation fighters, the most advanced in the world, with the benefit of stealth, the ability to cruise above Mach 1 without the use of afterburners, and advanced radar and electro-optical sensors. The fighter force would easily overpower Russian fighters, bombers, and transports, and then go on to sink the aging Russian battle fleet. (The U.S. Navy doesn’t maintain a permanent presence in ships in Alaska, but the California-based Third Fleet is only a few days’ sailing time away.)

I think the only way Russia makes an attempt to reclaim Alaska is through brute force which would ignite WW3. I think Russia would find that the U.S is far more formidable than the Ukraine is and any attempts would be doomed to failure.
