Absolutely. Many of our arctic islands are desirable and valuable to Russia for annexation and Ukraine has made it perfectly clear they're shameless in their conquests. I know America's sphere of influence makes it far less likely they'd snatch land across the arctic versus in Ukraine, but if it's uninhabited and remote, the American public's exhaustion on supporting Ukraine may lead them to quietly abandon the area with little fuss...

Not to mention that I consider the US to be the second-biggest threat to our territorial integrity, so I wouldn't want to rely on them to protect our sovereignty.

Third-biggest threat is Denmark. Hans Island is Canadian! Grumble mumble...
