It's really not much of an October surprise, whottt.
Palin does nothing when Putin rears his head and sends planes near Alaska.
She hears about it later.

Page 2?
Nothing really.
Please tell me what military actions Palin has commanded during her tenure as governor.
Do it here on page 4.
The fact that you and every lib
A. Continually ask for proof of a claim I never made.
B. Don't understand what chain of command is.
C. Don't understand what a line of succession.
D. Seem to think I claimed Palin was at some point in charge of a Federal Reponse to a Russian incursion into Alaskan Airspace is.
E. Do not have a clue of the powers of Governors.
F. Assume the US has no fail safe in place for key states in the MDS in case there is a lack of a Federal Reponse.
G. Actually expect me to provide proof there is such a fail safe even though it was public knowledge it wouldn't be a fail safe.
Among other things, by all means, keep asking for proof of claim I never made when I have alreeady explained and proven, every claim I made. I'm not on the defensive...I just think you're stupid.
So there really isn't much to this thread after all.
I don't know why you made such a big deal out of it then.
lol, he always answers with a question.
Um...I posted several things at the beginning of this thread, that was one of the things YOU and YOUR ILK, elected to try to
A. Spin into something different than any original statement and
B. Make a big deal about.
The other thing you guys made a big deal about, stupidly, was the use of the terminology flying over air space instead of near it, a routine statement, whether technically accurate or not...
In any case...I can find examples of Palin partaking in a Federal Action and the Russians flying over Alaskan Air Space...so even on the points you guys attempted to twist into your favor, ya'll lose.
But like I was saying...next example I get of what Clinton, Bush and Reagan did...will be the first.
[insert hair splitting here]
Spelling smack?
Here, you forgot this one: "alrweady", plus I used "too" incorrectly.
Let me know when you decide to stop bottom feeding.
I'm not going to proofread my posts for spelling, grammatical errors, or typos so you might as well chalk up a victory for yourself in every argument we have from now on.
About what?
This thread being some great revelation about the powers of a governor?
It isn't.
The co-op projects between the Governments of Alasksa and Russia were the thing main things I was talking about. The shared waters with 4-5 other countries were the other.
That she actually gets briefed on incursions was mere gravy, I didn't think that happened routinely, and evidentally it does. Nor did I think she had input into the Military Defense Plan, and evidentally she does that as well.

Russian students from throughout the Russian Far East study at the University of Alaska – for reduced tuition, paying the same rate charged to Alaska residents. University of Alaska policy allows residents of Alaska sister cities and sister regions to pay resident tuition rates to attend the university. It is unlikely that many of these Russian Far East students would be able to attend university in Alaska without this special break. Alaska has sister relations with a dozen Russian Far East cities and regions. It is believed that Alaska has more Russian students at its university campuses than any college in the United States. The University of Alaska has an American Russian Center based in Anchorage with branch campuses in a half dozen Russian Far East locations to provide basic business courses aimed at creating a capitalist class of entrepreneurs with practical business skills. A branch of the University of Alaska that specializes in training workers for the oil and gas and mining industries, the Mining and Petroleum Training Service, has trained hundreds of Russian oil field workers in Alaska and, with help from USAID, the Alaska private sector and the Russian Academy of Sciences, has launched the Sakhalin Alaska College technical training school in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Alaska high schools, which have Russian studies and exchange programs, stage a Russian academic Olympiad every year.
Technical Assistance & Humanitarian Aid
Alaska has been the biggest single source of humanitarian aid flowing into the Russian Far East, particularly during recent hard winters marked by power outages and shortages. Grassroots campaigns by citizen groups, charities, churches, governments, businesses and many individuals have been behind the goodwill efforts. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and similar benefactors have provided support for Alaska government agencies, organizations and businesses to reinforce the burgeoning democratic institutions and market economy built up in the Russian Far East through technical assistance from Alaska.
An Alaska – Russia Miscellany
Cities and towns in Alaska and the Russian Far East are closer to each other than they are to their own national capitals. Russia governed Alaska as a colony for almost as long as the United States has now governed Alaska as a possession, territory and state. Alaska serves as the exclusive U.S. gateway for flights between the Russian Far East and the United States. Every summer, Bering Strait and Bering Sea adventure cruises stop at ports in Alaska and the Russian Far East. Alaska has translated its state constitution, government documents and key laws into Russian to share with Russian Far East regions, governments and dumas (legislatures). Among the historical artifacts in the State Capitol and the Governor’s House are samovars, portraits of the Russian czar and other items that evoke the Russian heritage. Much of the flora and fauna and geology in Alaska are similar to the Russian Far East and eastern Siberia. Scientists do joint volcano research since Alaska and Kamchatka form the northern arc of the so-called Ring of Fire. Alaska and Russia conduct cooperative research and management of species such as polar bears, walrus and whales. Exhibits in museums of Alaska, Siberia and the Russian Far East often bear great similarities. Hotlines connect Alaska and the Russian Far East. There has been a direct link for emergency air traffic communications ever since the Soviets shot down of Korean Airlines Flight #007 in Russian air space en route from Anchorage to Seoul in 1983. Alaska-based air traffic controllers share communications links with their counterparts on Russia’s east coast. After 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine, communications were established between the Alaska Dept. of Environmental Conservation and the Russian nuclear power station across the Bering Strait in Bilibino, Chukotka.
The State of Alaska maintains a full-time staff position for dealing with Russian trade and Alaska-Russian Far East affairs.
Enjoy :tu
When was the last time Russians few into Alaskan airspace whottt?
Pretty weak stuff, not worthy of the buildup.
If you can show me what Palin has personally contributed to the Military Defense Plan, i'd love to see it.Quote:
