What’s Alaska’s Long-Term Plan?
As a 60-year Alaskan my own experience has been from a time of new state idealism and determination (1962) in this place where East meets West, to now feeling total dismay at what Alaska has become as a failing state. Flying from Washington DC to Asia, any airplane must refuel in Alaska, making this military outpost of USA the middleman in any coming geopolitical dispute between East and West.
After the Great Alaska Earthquake (1964) the Federal Government declared Martial Law to assure a competent response.
