Russia is basically at war with NATO

[sartre play]

The Russian army is actively developing its military presence in the Arctic, creating and modernizing bases such as the Arctic Trifolium and forming specialized Arctic troops to protect national interests and resources in the region.

Specially designed equipment and weapons are used to operate effectively in the harsh Arctic conditions, and the main task of the troop group is to ensure the defense and implementation of Russia's interests in the Arctic.

Russia is indeed the strongest player in the Arctic. Despite all attempts by NATO countries, it is Russian military polar explorers who are the main specialists and “colonizers” in the high latitudes.
Unlike NATO countries, the Russian Armed Forces have a permanent presence on the subcontinent, rather than limiting themselves to one-off visits and demonstrations of force. It would not be an exaggeration to say that today, the Russian Army is synonymous with global Arctic civilization.

The military intelligence agency Army Recognition notes that the Arctic contains 25 percent of the world's hydrocarbon reserves, and Russia intends to take control of 55 percent of Arctic oil and gas by 2030. At the same time, the Arctic is the shortest route for American ballistic missiles targeting Russia and the shortest route from Northern Europe to Asia, which is gradually becoming ice-free.

Yes, NATO countries are now saying that they would like to expand their presence in the Arctic. But competing with Russia at this stage is hardly possible.
In addition, Russia has the world's largest icebreaker fleet, which numbers about 40-46 vessels, including eight nuclear-powered and many diesel-electric icebreakers. In the coming years, the fleet is expected to be further expanded with new nuclear icebreakers.
The US has two heavy icebreakers, none of which are nuclear-powered.

My concern is that with the ice melt could a water highway be in the making,? That could put US in more danger.
& If China is getting in the mix also? Can not remember where i read the original info. some little thing just said in passing,
put this back on my mind.

This is like saying on September 2, 1939 “Poland was basically at war with Germany”

NATO has relentlessly pushed eastward until they arrived at the Russian border, but somehow claim Putin is the aggressor

Amazing

Would that not be the point? NATO near the border to protect, protect what ? Excuse my lack of knowledge in this area.
As I am anti any DICKTATORS. Became more interested in the area after Russia became involved in Ukraine.
Had seen the damage Russia has done in the past to other neighboring country's.

NATO has been the aggressor here for two reasons: US weapons sales to new NATO members and delusional bankers hoping to pick up Russian assets for free.

Further, can you imagine if China or Russia had bioweapon labs in Mexico or Canada? We had US Lugar Bioweapon labs in Ukraine

 

[CrusaderFrank]

No it is not.
It is Putin flexing his muscle to get everyone else to give him what he wants - all the ground he has taken, and Zelensky gone.

And the comments that the hypocrite European Union giving Russia 100s of $billions during this war in oil payments - while claiming to support Ukraine?? --- typical Eurospoiled brats saying one thing and doing the opposite.

It’s hypocritical to not freeze to death in winter or run your economy??

Nato showed how defensive they are when they bombed Yugoslavia for 78 days for no reason.

Afghanistan had nothing to do with Russia. Russia was not a threat in 2001.

The HeirGuardsman and Darth Evader certainly thought it was. That was the only reason they hired an expert on the Soviet Union and nothing else, NeoCondi Rice. It was the only reason they tried to turn Afghanistan into a permanent American military base, just like the Ukraine.

Not true if you knew anything, but you rarely do so I expect this response

now i wonder how much oil is under the artic....? ~S~

Conservation Is a Scam for Hoarding

At the other end of false scarcities, Antarctica has as much oil and other minerals as has ever been produced in America. Zero Growth Globalism has been around since 1959.

Russia has the respect of most of the World for standing up to the US Empire and its aggression.

Don't blame us for what our Deep State does. It has forced Putin to acquire nasty allies.

Yes Frank you are right, why some of the herd can't see Nato is a pyramid selling scam and money laundering racket and those poor suckers are paying for it with their taxes, you can't fix stupid.

Well they are now after the Serbs were attacked and Nato supported Islamists and Fascists.

Russia's Arctic and subarctic regions already generate at least 10% of the gross domestic product and approximately 20% of exports, with significant potential for growth in absolute terms.
Currently, 17% of Russia's oil, 80% of its natural gas, and approximately a third of its fish are produced here. The continental shelf is deservedly considered a strategic reserve of mineral resources, with proven reserves guaranteed to last for hundreds of years of prudent consumption.

The Northern Sea Route (NSR), despite all the complexities and controversial aspects of its operation, is a viable route for transporting raw materials and goods. In 2021, the artery delivered a record 33.5 million tons of cargo, two-thirds of which was liquefied natural gas (LNG) and gas concentrate.

By 2024, transportation volumes are planned to increase to 80 million tons, and by 2030, to 110 million tons, largely due to oil projects and the development of cabotage.

The Four Horsemen Against a Herd of Hyenas

Arctic Russia has a trillion dollars' worth of oil that China needs, and that only American technology can bring online. If the USA, Russia, China, and India get together, they can double the wealth of each country.

The Globalist and bankers who wanted to conquer and tokenize Russian natural resources are like the Terminator and are the ones who must be stopped

When the Bear Growls, It's Not a Giant Sucking Sound

Russia refused to become a cheap-labor colony for American outsourcers.

You are delusional, have you not seen battlefield reports and how Nato Tanks etc have been destroyed all over it and how Ukraine is unable to mount any offensive of any strength? have you not seen how desperate they are for manpower that they have kidnapping squads taking men off the streets by force, your problem is you believe your own propaganda.

For every NATO tank destroyed a hundred Russian tanks have been destroyed. In war equipment gets destroyed, it's a fact of life, what determines the end result is how much equipment is left and Russia is running out of tanks to refurb and its production levels are far below NATO levels AND the tanks its producing are essentially 1980s models with inferior fire control as well as the well-known tendency to "blow their tops" due to exposed ammo inside the tanks which kills the entire crew.

Do your own research. The Russian T-90M tanks in production are far inferior to the NATO tanks being provided to Ukraine. Plus, the Russians, despite running the production line 24/7 can't even produce one tank a day. Losses far exceed production of both new tanks AND the refurbed Soviet tanks.

You’re making claims while unwilling or unable to provide evidence to back them up. Even Nitwit does better.

At the time, Iran was the issue. Bush (or Halliburton) wanted to take out Iran. Afghanistan sits on the other side of Iran to Iraq, who they also invaded.
