Let's be completely honest here. Russia might make a bunch of noise but they will NEVER invade or attack Alaska. I would think the same of Canada. We would bomb and eventually nuke them if any action against one of our states was to be taken. Additionally the Poland agreement is major. Assuming that actually does happen we will have major resources and missiles a stone throw away from Russia all sitting there under the guise of a "shield". Russia has been quickly rebuilding their resources and to regain their foothold in the region and that part of the world. I am not totally against them rebuilding and being powerful as long as their overall direction matches that of the USA's. Having another powerful nation across the pond will take some of the stress off the USA IMO.
