This probably needs to be shared to remind all of us.
For those who think Russia is all the way on the other side of the world...It's approximately 55 miles from us at the Bering Strait's narrow point.
However, in the body of water between Alaska and Russia, known as the Bering Strait, there lies two small islands known as Big Diomede and Little Diomede. Interesting enough, Big Diomede is owned by Russia while Little Diomede is owned by the US.
The stretch of water between these two islands is only about 2.5 miles wide and actually freezes over during the winter so you could technically walk from the US to Russia on this seasonal sea ice.
I measured 45 miles. It's much closer than the main US is to Alaska. Bless Putin and the massive task he is undertaking. Light, Love and Truth to Ukraine.
