Jenna This is freaking pointless they did all that to prove what exactly? She literally said "you can see Russian from land here in Alaska" technically yes you can. CNN is full of crap and trust me I am no palin fan even when I lived in Alaska and she was my governor.
Note: Palin never said "she could see Russia from her house." She said "you can see Russia from land here in Alaska." She never said she visited that land, just pointed out the proximity between Alaska and Russia. But good story either way, this small town needed more attention!
Moreover, from what I saw she didn’t say that it provided her with foreign policy experience lmao. She was just pointing this out but wow how people spun this and bought the spin 🤦🏻♀️. #sad

A helicopter is the only practical way to get there during all four seasons. Russia itself has a similar problem, where most of its access to the ocean freezes over in the winter. And the part that stays liquid, involves NATO chokepoints like the strait of Denmark, the Turkish straits, and the strait of Gibraltar. So in spite of more coastline than any other country, it gets all the problems of a landlocked country.
carultch I agree with you on the four seasons, winter pervents many ships from traveling in the North, it's just that the guy makes it seem like he says it's the only way to get on the island. However, NATO would have nothing to do with getting there since the island is USA's territory, not Russia's.
Well that part of Russia really is the middle of nowhere. You can't even drive to anywhere in that oblast from Moscow. I wouldn't expect that Putin has even visited the Chukotka region or the Chuckchi people.
What should they do else? They get food by Helicopter, they don't have space to put the bags anywhere. The village has also only got 100 Civilians in it, the sea won't die because of this...
Well, it's obviously something that happens, cos there's a sign telling them not to do it... But they're obviously not meant to do it, either, cos there's a sign telling them _not to do it._ [EDIT] ps As for the suggestion that they dump their rubbish on land (never mind bury it) - have you _seen_ the terrain? The town already occupies the only spit of flat(~ish) land in the entire place, and even at that, it looks like most of the buildings need to be supported on stilts. I suppose the garbage _could_ be choppered up to the plateau at the top of the island so that the Arctic gales (and the shitehawks, aka, seagulls, mustn't forget _them_ )could distribute it far and wide, but what would the carbon footprint of _that_ be? Which just leaves burning it, or as much of it as _will_ burn. Which I suspect they probably do anyway? (Ahh, just get that unspoilt ocean breeze... Dioxins... PCB's... _lovely..._ ) It startled me seeing the guy 'hupping' his crap into the drink too, but in all fairness, it's easy to criticize when you have trucks come to take away your trash, or, worst case scenario, you can just drive it to the town dump!

I'm not a big fan of Sarah Palin, but people got the quote wrong. It's all because of SNL. People actually think she said "I can see Russia from my house". Which is the incorrect quote. Actual quote: "You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska". It's quite different isn't it. But I bet if you ask someone whether Sarah Palin said this, they would say no. They would say Sarah Palin said "I can see Russia from my house". Weird how our brains change things. Though her quote was still dumb considering she never visited that Island ever.
Closed Down Very astute observation. This is quite common with politics and news media of today. In Spain, El Pais twisted something Donald Trump tweeted to make it sound like he didn't know where Germany was. And people ate it up. Was Palin a frighteningly terrible choice for VP? Absolutely, but it's nice to know that there are some people out there like you that choose to overlook the bias to form a more accurate opinion. You give me hope, good sir. Have a nice day

What do people on the island do to entertain themselves. Winters are windy and freezing and the short summer is cloudy and foggy. How do people who live there find happiness or not get depressed.
Oh my God! They went there to show Russia is not close to Alaska. She said Russia is in her (figurative) backyard, not that she can see it. Also, Russia DOES do business with the state of Alaska. Georgia has foreign policy experience with China. My wife worked with several Chinese officials during her stint as an employee of the Georgia Department of Economic Development. If she had been Democratic, they would have been broadcasting that for a week, until people shut up.
Arthur Duda Screamin Mime is right. She never said it. It was said by Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live when Fey was portraying Sarah Palin in a spoof. Then liberals did what liberals do---lie and say that it was said by Sarah Palin herself when actually it was Tina Fey all along.
I've never lived far enough away from the US-Canada border to not be able to see it really at any time I wanted to, and I've lived on both sides. Does that make me eligible for US President/Canadian Prime Minister?
I think America needs to do something for this people .. They don't even have running water? and they have to dump the trash to the ocean ?? OMG ! Please Gov't of Alaska & Federal .. Pay Attention to this island !! We're trying to protect the environment as well as the people too !!
Linda Fukuyu it's an island of 150!!!people use your head. You think they should build a water treatment plant and plumb every little shack with millions of tax payer dollars because of 150 people??!! I know dozens towns in Alaska (yes I've grown up there) that could use that money remember Alaska is 3/4 the size of the continental US the hell with such a small town. And I'm not a palin fan I just live in reality.
Could we build more houses and hotels and restaurants on our island there. maybe some docks. Or a helicopter airfield for civilians. I just think we could build more homes on our island there.
Ha! What a milestone in the giant shit storm we live in today. 11 years later- I am still in disbelief how badly she was savaged by the corporate media.
Next thing you see, they placed a giant sign "At least its bigger than your IQ". Just kidding, they'll probably nuke the whole island. Or at least shelling the whole island and says its a military drill.
So every one in Miami can see Cuba from their house or people from LA can see Mexico from their house or Someone from Seattle can see Canada from their house
Wow if you were born there if you ever went to the main part of the US and found a restaurant it would be a first time and without television people born there and always live there are missing out
"Only about 150 people live on the entire island" bs there's actually about 1,600 people on the island and there remains a light us military presence on the island..
Yeah, a bridge to the middle of nowhere. Chukotka is a very isolated part of Russia. There are no roads or rails that connect it to any other part of Asia.
