There’s about 60km between modern day Russia and Alaska, and plenty of troops are already stationed (and were at the time) on its eastern border. Alaska would provide a lot of resources, and it could absolutely be guarded.
But, at the time, Alaska was seen as nothing but barren piece of cold land, not really useful for anything.
Questionable.
