By no fault of their own, the months ahead could reveal the Alaska Air National Guard’s inability to defend the West Coast from Russian adversary.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to Brigadier General Blaine “Blaino” Holt (USAF-Ret.) who was initially shocked by The Gateway Pundit’s public report on the restructuring of the Alaska Air National Guard that could hamper the nation’s security.

In Monday’s article, it was revealed that “a 40 percent degradation in air defense and a 60 percent degradation in combat search and rescue capabilities are expected [in Alaska by June].” A 40 percent reduction in air refueling capability and a 50 percent degradation in the Air National Guard’s space warning mission is also possible by October.
