America's southern border is a mess. The Biden administration's dereliction leaves every state and every neighborhood at greater risk of crime and suffering losses from the deadly poisons trafficked into the U.S.
But what if I told you another U.S. border is under serious threat - not from millions of unvetted migrants but from a dictator who loves to rattle his saber and has a history of invading his neighbors?
In recent weeks, we've seen Russian military jets blatantly violating U.S. airspace over Alaska. President Vladimir Putin has also suggested that certain lands that once belonged to the Russian empire should be part of the country again. And more than a few observers have suggested that Putin includes Alaska on that list.
So how serious is the Russian threat to Alaska? Is Putin just posturing or does he have something else in mind? And is the U.S. prepared militarily if Russia gets even more aggressive?
Today, Sara explores all of these issues and much more with L. Shane Land, a disabled combat veteran of the Iraq War. Mr. Land also served as a U.S. Air Force security specialist, a U.S. Army intelligence analyst, and a civilian federal intelligence analyst for the Department of the Army. He is based in Alaska.
