I came across this Rumsey map and never knew just how close Russia was to Alaska. I knew that we were only separated by the Bering strait but I had no clue that was only like a mile.
Having grown up in the 80's and hearing about nuclear war from birth until Reagan saved us from the Red Menace in '89; I would have feared for the safety of Alaska's safety 24/7.
