Alaska is right next to Russian airspace. Ukraine is not right next to American airspace.

It is right next to NATO airspace as well as an active war instigated by Russia.

Also, do you really think the Russians scramble their strategic bombers to Alaska because it is next to their borders? They don't do the same to China or North Korea.

PRC and DPRK don't have nuclear first-strike policies/histories nor have publicly advocated for the overthrow of the Russian government. Again, apples and oranges.

DPRK does in fact have an overtly stated nuclear first strike policy.

Can you provide an official source for that claim?
