"It's time to enter the" battlefield "and defend their interests": the Pentagon calculated Russia's income in the Arctic

The US Department of Defense has published a material that calculates the "dividends" received by Russia in the Arctic, and states American claims to the region.

It is time for the United States to enter the "battlefield" in the Arctic to defend its national interests there

- announced by the Pentagon.

As indicated, due to the melting of ice, the Arctic opens up opportunities for both the development of resources and their transportation:

Russia is already defending what belongs to the Russians and is looking for new opportunities [to earn money]. China is also a player, as a “pre-Arctic country” […] The US will have to show more “assertiveness” in the region if it wants its presence there.

As the commander of the US Northern Command, Glen D. Van Herk, said, "we do not have the persistence that is necessary to confront competitors in the Arctic on a daily basis." In his words, the development of the region requires complex work. First, it is necessary to establish a communication and information system, the general noted, thanking the legislators for the $ 36 million allocated for this purpose. The United States currently has 10 satellites that track the Arctic. In the future, the general hopes to acquire about a hundred more tracking devices in orbit. However, this is not enough.

According to the general, it is necessary to ensure the constant operation of coast guard boats, destroyers and cruisers of the Navy. But they are running out of fuel. Currently, there is not enough of it north of Dutch Harbor [Unalashka in the Aleutian Islands, famous for the battles of 1942], which interferes with the activities of reconnaissance platforms and fighter aviation... At the same time, you need to be "aware of Russia's actions in this region."

As Van Herck explained, calculating Moscow's revenues, Russia receives about a quarter of its GDP from activities in the Arctic. Moreover, "the Russians have reopened and reinforced military facilities from the Cold War, which were once closed." China is also seeking to strengthen its influence in the region.

We must be persistent in the development of the Arctic, working together with allies, partners and like-minded countries

- concluded the general.

I wonder how the Americans are going to push us out of the Arctic to their reservations? ... we are not Apache Indians ... and in our hands are not tomahawks, but Calibers, Maces, Poseidons and other otvetka.

Yes, and democracy to instill, except for the Danes and Norwegians, there is no one there yet.

[boris epstein]

Democracy in the United States began to be implanted back in the USSR, starting in 1986. And until about 2004-2006, it gradually worked out. But now in Russia they started to fail, but they started to work out in Belarus.

The Chinese do not climb into Russia. China has no territorial or any other claims against Russia. Moreover, the science of demography suggests that the Chinese will not capture the Far East of the Russian Federation:

But the Americans themselves sat on the cocked mine, starting to worship their "African Americans".
Just be careful not to fill your State Department and Congress completely with only people of Negroid origin!

[VORON538]

The president warned about the possession of "honestly acquired" in the Axis (evil) West a few years ago. So let them blame themselves. As for the State Department and Congress, African Americans, to put it mildly, then LGBT and Asians with Latinos will be offended! US President is a black Asian -transgender with a big fifth point - this is an ideal candidate for them! :)))

And what about you (the Americans) with the icebreakers, is everything all right? To enter the battlefield, you must first reach it.

The United States has 10 satellites that track the Arctic. In the future, the general hopes to acquire about a hundred more tracking devices in orbit.

It is of course good to keep track of it, especially for how Russia is developing the Arctic within its borders. Will satellites also fight on the territory of Russia?

I doubt it. If only through third countries (?).

[carstorm 11]

You and Stroporez would be happy to sell and probably ... Justifying this by the fact that "we do not care about the army, weapons, defending our interests, the position in world politics, etc. - we will share this loot for everyone and 2 rubles extra for each we will make a Russian "

"Russia has expanded its application to a part of the continental Arctic shelf
On March 31, 2021, the Russian Federation submitted two additions to the partially revised 2015 Submission to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf in relation to the Arctic Ocean.
In accordance with the Commission's Rules of Procedure, as well as the decision of the Commission taken at its sixteenth session, the communication is being circulated to all Member States of the United Nations and interested parties. Supplements to the application contain all the necessary diagrams and coordinates (Gakkel Ridge, Nansen and Amundsen Basins, Lomonosov Ridge, Alpha Ridge, Mendeleev Rise, Amundsen and Makarov Basins and the Canadian Basin).
These applications are additions to the partially revised submission of the Russian Federation to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf in relation to the continental shelf of the Russian Federation in the Arctic Ocean dated August 3, 2015.
The consideration of the partially revised submission by the Russian Federation will be included in the provisional agenda for the next regular session of the Commission, prepared in accordance with rule 5 and paragraph 2 of annex III to the Commission's Rules of Procedure.
Thus, Russia officially expanded its claims to part of the continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean up to the exclusive economic zones of Canada and Greenland. "
Yes, you can also claim the return of Alaska. Laws, geography and treaties on the side of Russia.

Speaking of "betrayal" in the settlement of the border issue with Norway. The application for disputes with neighbors is inappropriate. An interesting situation and precedent with the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, its center was free for international shipping and fishing. But the question is with Japan and the Kuriles. Somehow they got an agreement from Japan, the same Japanese, Korean, etc. poachers were blown away, the Sea of ​​Okhotsk is officially our inland body of water, and Abe swore on his father's grave ... apparently they hinted that they would return the islands ... and then amendments to the Constitution and hi Abe became sad and quit.

This is natural, the Yankees constantly talk about their intention to confront us in the Arctic. Only, they have a lot of money, but there is no clear plan of action, what and how to do in the region in order to really harm us.

Shine. Well, the general is right. 10 satellites are few. We are building icebreakers here with might and main. We order Yamalmax from Koreans. The White Stone was built to make these Arc 7 type gas carriers themselves. I’m not talking about the Northern Fleet - the power is incredible, and it also includes the Air Defense Army and the Air Force.
There are really few 300 satellites. And to be afraid, afraid and once again afraid of the Strategic Object called the Russian Arctic.
The main thing to remember is that this is all to defend American democracy.

[xorek]

Van Herck, calculating Moscow's revenues, Russia receives about a quarter of its GDP from activities in the Arctic.

I remembered the whining "our" liberals, supposedly why do we need military bases in the Arctic, it would be better if they gave it to pensioners, and so on. Now something has quieted down.
The Northern Sea Route has not yet started operating at full capacity .. Well, for OUR Arctic, guys!

[A. Privalov]

The Americans are already preparing to seize the Arctic. For this, the Pentagon plans to create one heavy icebreaker by 2045. In 30 years, another one will be commissioned ...
They don't know yet that

The Russian government is extending the Far Eastern Hectare program to the Arctic. This was stated by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin at a cabinet meeting on Thursday, April 15.

otherwise they would have burst out of anger with the entire command together, including NATO.

Invests in Russian hydrocarbon production, uses the NSR (rarely, but regularly, which is important for working out the route and infrastructure along it), constantly sends scientific expeditions or conducts jointly with the Russian Federation, has an icebreaker (Xue Long, built in Kherson in the 90s), Xue Long 2 (the first of its construction) was commissioned in the 19th. Certainly not on a Russian scale, but not on an American scale either.

Well, be present there in your territorial and economic waters. We do not need someone else's, and we will not give up ours.
