>Would the US irradiate it's own land with the boring nuke option instead of having it's kino, SOVL wet dream come true of demolishing a hostile invader with unheard of firepower after so long?
moron question.
Wouldn't need to. Probably wouldn't need to muster much of the actual military. I imagine there'd be more trouble stopping the locals from skinning screaming slant-eyes alive and hanging them in the trees.
No, why would they? They are attacking the US mainland of which the US Airforce operates from. What ever navel supply route they thought they would have will cease to exist within 2 hours and without supplies the invasion force is going to have a real bad time... frick, we might just leave the mop up to Canada.
No, it's fricking Alaska. They may not even need to mobilize a relief force, the natives, crazies, and wilderness will just do the work for them. Do you understand how big and inhospitable Alaska is anon? I'd rather invade the fricking Sahara.
I was waiting for the transplant moron or lower 48 slug to chime in with this comment. Stfu, moron. You don't know anything about Alaska beyond what you've seen on TV or your guided tour bus. Kys, moron.
I would love to see any modern military try and invade north America through Alaska. Its about the most primordial undeveloped place imaginable. Every high volume paved road would be blown by the end of day 2. By day 3 Invaders would start eating pot shots from 1000 yards from. Every elevation. It would only get worse as they move south into Canada. Northern and coastal British Columbia would be pine tree vietnam. Theres no development there, the infrastructure to support an invader doesn't exist.
FAFO. You stupid children just post slide threads without thought. Initial response would of course be conventional but Russia has no conventional power projection and neither has a logical reason to attack AK.
Actually, yes they do. Alaska is important to US aerial transportation and oil reserves. When traveling to parts of East Asia it is actually a shorter and less dangerous route to travel through AK. You bypass the storms of the Pacific and don't have to fly over as much water.
Probably not, because Alaska itself would probably deliver an 80% casualty rate. I mean frick, the U.S. doesn't really know what an actual map of the state would look like. There is basically a dividing line through the State where troop transport would have to be almost entirely via aircraft. Or they'd have to sail the coast and get fricked by the Navy and Airforce because they would be within strike distance of every USN/USAF base along the West coast.
Alaska is a bad idea and they should know it. Could they go and take over a few chunks of Alaska? Sure. But what would that do? They're sitting in barren areas where seal an whale are the only two food sources.

They wouldn't have to. >https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Conventional_Prompt_Strike
They could do openly declare war, do decapitation strikes in Beijing and Moscow, take out electrical/farming infrastructure to create a crisis, use the CIA to start civil unrest and then mop up any foreign troops on U.S. soil using masses of overwhelming firepower.
This could be done within 48 hours.
That being said in a universe where this was even a remote probability the ships/aircraft transporting the troops would be eliminated the moment they enter U.S. jurisdiction.
They can attack all the snow and ice they want and freeze in it when they have no rations to eat. The Pacific will eat what little maritime lift capability they have before the USN and USAF has a field day sinking anything that looks Russian or Chinese at sea.
Any excuse to nuke Canada is a good one
Of course, the Japs attacked the Aleutian Islands and we nuked them.
China would invade Alaska
The US would annex Canada
And the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation states.
>Get this irl but instead of cool robot suits and lasers it's just shitty drones
I think I heard this story before, anon. It usually ends with someone getting shot in the head and buried outside Vegas.
Turns out geopolitics were rigged right from the start.
why the frick wouldn't we, it'd give us all the reason we need to turn our enemies into radioactive grease stains
>Three different rifles in a 5-man group
I was going to say the same. The indians don't give a frick about their logistics train apparently
>Would the US irradiate it's own land with the boring nuke option instead of having it's kino, SOVL wet dream come true of demolishing a hostile invader with unheard of firepower after so long?
moron question.
The US would go full Belka if it was under war invasion
Don't be silly. The US wouldn't nuke itself, but it would nuke an invader, and then save some weapons to genocide the survivors.
It absolutely would if it was losing to said invasion
>It absolutely would if it was losing to said invasion
Not possible.
Wouldn't need to. Probably wouldn't need to muster much of the actual military. I imagine there'd be more trouble stopping the locals from skinning screaming slant-eyes alive and hanging them in the trees.

Alaska has a larger military than canada hehe it's a 10.24
I was waiting for the transplant moron or lower 48 slug to chime in with this comment. Stfu, moron. You don't know anything about Alaska beyond what you've seen on TV or your guided tour bus. Kys, moron.
Crazies. My thought exactly. Every eco grifting social dropout with a pair of snowshoes would be going into axe attack mode due to the littering.
They'd just deploy T-45 suits moron

Alaska is also home to the F-22, and the B-1 is on standby.
FAFO. You stupid children just post slide threads without thought. Initial response would of course be conventional but Russia has no conventional power projection and neither has a logical reason to attack AK.
Erm, actually when all this kicked off there were a lot of noises about "taking back" Alaska.
There is this. Supposedly it says first Ukraine then Alaska.
"we returned Crimea, now (it's your turn to) return Alaska"
Actually, yes they do. Alaska is important to US aerial transportation and oil reserves. When traveling to parts of East Asia it is actually a shorter and less dangerous route to travel through AK. You bypass the storms of the Pacific and don't have to fly over as much water.
Why nuke Alaska when the US can just use guerilla tactics and special forces to deal with the invasion. Invading Alaska is the worst place to invade.
Nope. We'd sink their asses before single chink ice Black person ever made it to shore.
Don't be so sure, pedo Joe the dickhead is still president
The president does not matter and whining about one is a trap stupid people fall into by design.

All the US needs to do is intercept any supply ships and wait for the problem to disappear
>the absolute kino of intercepting chang in the fricking klondike

>using the Carl G to trigger avalanches from miles away and burying entire columns
No.
Yes. No. Maybe. I don't know.
Yes.
We would plant them in a fault line across alaska and sink it into the ocean.
He was talking about Alaska, not California.
What if they attacked Mexico?
Just drove straight up through the border?
I for one, think that would be a hilarious way to start world war 3.
Its not like they'd need to
Alaska has a large TDF that rivals the national guard
Yes. Fun fact: Most of the Chinese live on their coast, reducing their population by 60% would take the afternoon.
Russia's already a wasteland so I can't imagine nuking them would have any effect aside from irradiating some perfectly good trees and mountain ranges
No, they could easily destroy them conventionally.
They wouldn't have to.
