Agree that Russia might like to try that, but U.S. forces have a much shorter supply line, so Russia unlikely to succeed at more than the Aleutians at best. The Russians would then have Japan behind their forces. I would say much more likely the U.S. retaliates by occupying the Kamchatka peninsula, which was part of Japan, which still claims it.
