The ChiComs want to land in the Aleutians?
How’d that work out for the Japanese Empire?
Paywall- drat.
What would they do with them? Last time I checked, they were on good terms with the Russians, and it’s out of range for the things that they’re interested in.
They may have a long reach with ICBMs, but they’re primarily a regional power.
We have an election coming up, and there might very well be a significant change in US policy. I don’t see them building airfields just to give them back to us when President %not Democrat% tightens the economic screws and has a carrier group nearby to back it up.
So why are they there? It’s not a sea lane for anything other than submarines. Puzzled. Are they trying to expand their influence? No idea.

Different day, different leaders my FRiend.
For all we know that worthless POS in Washington already sold Alaska to the Chicom and will announce it when the boats land.
