BOTTOM LINE... Why Russia matters:
- Geography: ~50% of the Arctic coastline is Russian.
- Military footprint:
- Have Reopened Cold War–era bases
- Built New airfields, radar sites, missile defenses
- Nuclear submarine bastion in the Barents Sea
- Nuclear deterrence:
- Russia’s Northern Fleet houses a large share of its nuclear-armed subs (SSBNs).
- Arctic waters are core to Russia’s second-strike capability.
- Russia has 40+ icebreakers, including nuclear-powered ones.
- The U.S. has a handful by comparison.
- This gives Russia year-round access and control over Arctic sea lanes.
- Russia treats it like internal waters, not an international passage.
- Could be used to:
- Pressure NATO shipping
- Enforce tolls or deny access in a conflict
- Militarize commercial traffic
- Russia can already project force, deny access, and threaten NATO lines in the Arctic TODAY !
AMERICA, and AMERICANS, NEED to WAKE up… There is NOTHING “Democratic” about the CURRENT American “Democrat Party”! THEY are more an amalgamation of Totalitarian Marxists, Socialists, Communists, and Globalists… who are BENT on TAKING, and then KEEPING power... & where ultimately the American PEOPLE will have NO SAY AT ALL in how we are GOVERNED... and our "Democracy" will be DEAD!!
