Military In Alaska Shrinking Faster Than Glaciers Melt

Obama’s off to Alaska to warn his warnings over climate change the nation must heed

Fact Sheet released praising federal cooperation with local communities’ needs

Sounds great but one slight hitch

The EPA throws jobs and the lives of Alaskans into the ditch

Preventing a life saving road to be built from King Cove to Cold Bay

Exposing the residents to certain death if medivac planes can’t land when fog comes their way

Black Lives Matter but Alaskan Natives living in King Cove are wildlife trumped

If Obama really wanted to cooperate, Jewell and her life threatening regs he would dump

Climate change if it occurs may be a national security risk in the far off future

But a real concern that Obama will not address is Putin’s dream to a restoration of the Soviet Union nurture

Russia is building up a Russian arctic fortress on Alaska’s doorstep

While we continue to shrink our military a decision that all of us should regret

Worse cuts mean our forces in Alaska are shrinking faster than any climate change could its glaciers melt.

Russia expands and under Obama our armed forces must continue to tighten their fiscal belts

President Obama wants Alaska not to be the canary carried in the climate change mines in a cage

Ironic that in the state with more of our national symbols than all the states combined he will not Putin’s evil engage
