[American]

Anyone know?

Measured in light years?

Not very far. Ill test my knowledge so I won't look it up before answering. Seems like I heard there are either Russian or American islands within sight of one another or the other's mainland between Alaska and, what is it, Kamchatka?

about 2.5 miles at the closest point across the Bearing Straight.

Wow, you came to complain.

Sorry not a complaint; just thought it was silly but in hindsight should have just ignored the thread.

Pretty close, Putin thinks, according to his comments in the Onion:

I Thought This Was The Kind Of Shit America Liked

On Feb. 24, 2022, I—Vladimir Putin—sent troops into Ukraine to conduct a special military operation. As the president of Russia, I obviously expected resistance from leaders of certain key world powers, but I must say I’ve been surprised at how the United States, specifically, has reacted.

Yes. Why do you ask?

About 800 rods.

I wonder what @American thought he was accomplishing with this thread.

He can't actually believe that the best way to answer his "question" is by spamming general politics instead of introducing himself to google or a map.

About 12600 feet.

In that case it’s 0.000000000000408 light years.

About 53 miles.

About 24 or 52 miles. If you count Diomede AK, the former.

I think it’s time to put about 700,000 troops in the Akaska area. Bring in about a hundred military ships. Call it an exercise. This could put Russia in a bind not wanting to spread itself thin with troops.

I can't see Russia from my front porch... But I guess there are people in Alaska who say they can... So I guess it's pretty close...

Actually the big island belongs to Russia from what I've read. I was unaware of these small islands out there. Interesting.

Anyone know?

2 or 3 miles, if I remember correctly. Do I win anything?

There's a big house in Washington DC that Russia essentially rented for a while. I believe that they also have an embassy there.

I once heard someone say that they're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.
