Rump White state in Alaska can be kept safe by a few Western warships keeping the Reds at bay. Rump state with a direct land connection to Red territory is just begging to be infiltrated and overran. And the US didn't exactly have problems keeping it's Alaska supported and supplied.
Key question is, how well manned / supplied / maintained are the forts to begin with? Fully staffed with good quality officers and troops, with well maintained modern hardware and ample supplies, or suffering from years of neglect and being on the short end of everything, fort crews sent there...
Cutting off the cold water intake from the north would, no doubt, raise the temperatures in the basin if only warm currents from the south made it into the (somewhat enclosed) area. Otherwise, we'd need a meteorology / climate specialist to guesstimate the results in broader scale.
I wonder, would in this TL Kennedy do what all the conspiracy theories about his assassination say he wanted to do? Dissolve the CIA, deal with the FED, go with silver money ect.?

Well, so I've just finished giving likes to all the installments that I've somehow managed not to previously. Seriously good job on the whole story, OP. :)
That being said, do you plan to show us developments on things like airpower, radio communications, or war at (under) sea?
Also, how will...
Quite indeed. Sacking him would be seen as admission of wrongdoing and thus loosing face, so as long as there's nothing negative coming out of this, he is safe.
Well, there is having big brass ones, and there is batshit insane, which is effectively declaring war on foreign nation at your own discretion. Pretty sure the First Lord does not have that authority...
Very good to see another update, it's one of my favorite stories on this board.
Anyway, will we see an update covering the changes / developments in tactics and weapons technology? Having seen them first hand, all sides should "hit" LMGs (and automatic rifles in general) like an alcoholic on...
Say, will we see more of Russian situation in the next part? I must say, it was refreshing to see such realistic view of the situation at hand by the Germans...
