Separately, two Canadian F-18s intercepted two Bear bombers that intruded into the Alaska air defense identification zone on Dec. 8 that a military spokesman called “unwanted, provocative, and potentially destabilizing.”

What? We've outsourced the air defense of our homeland to Canadia? Whose responsible for guarding our coasts? Iceland?

Alaska and Canada have similar lines, I welcome or Canadian friends.

North American air defense is a joint operation for the USAF and the RCAF. It has been for decades.

The high Arctic is actually America's first line of defense against Russian bombers. If it ever happens they will come in over Alaska and Western Canada and in the east over Greenland and Labrador.

Look on the bright side. The US has at least one solid ally in one defense sector. Maybe you could let us finance and build a pipeline and a bridge?
