There’s about 60km between modern day Russia and Alaska
There’s over 5000km between Vladivostok and Anchorage. Virtually nobody lives in the interior.
Alaska was seen as nothing but barren piece of cold land
It still is. The mineral wealth is extremely difficult to access due to the weather.
But Russia also has enormous fossil fuel reserves. They just sold off a colony that was more expensive to guard than it was lucrative to exploit.

Why would you pay for YouTube and then get an ad blocker? Seems redundant.

By the time Russia is knocking at the door of the UK, its already game over.
That said, I would not want to be Polish right now.
What does that accomplish?
A shit one is even cheaper
A game with maps that were assembled at random from what some lead/executive thought was the best submissions out of a random assortment of amateur designs sounds like it is going to be crap.

Be Polish. Live at the crossroads of three major continental zones. Incorporates traditions from Arabic, Latin, and Nordic languages into a unique synthesis. Everybody hates it. Nobody wants to speak it.
Be English. Live at the ass end of nowhere, and become a haven for vagrants, dissidents, pirates, and exiles. Incorporate traditions from Latin, Germanic, and Frankish languages into a unique synthesis. Everyone hates it. Nobody wants to speak it. Become worlds most spoken language anyway.

Israelis don’t believe it is their land. That’s the rub
Joe Biden confirmed it by repeating it over and over again. Why would I need more evidence than that?
There’s more to game development than that. Setting, art style, gameplay loop, interface…
The argument being made is that a “proven” mechanism for monetization is getting in the way of developing other attributes of gameplay, as the

Repeated wars with Japan, the Ottomans, and with domestic insurgencies plagued the country through the 19th century.
And Alaska was already being filibustered by western colonialists as far back as the early 1800s, necessitating a Treaty (the Russo-American Treaty of 1824) to settle an ongoing dispute over territory (The Oregon Boundary Dispute) that Russians had little capacity or real interest in prosecuting. Much like with the Louisiana Purchase, this was a token transfer intended to get some kind of compensation to relinquish a claim the Russians were poised to lose one way or another.
