It's not like Russia/USSR hasn't ahd an arctic fleet for a few hundred years -

Why wouldn't they have bases ALONG THEIR OWN COAST??


Just because something a country is doing makes perfect sense, extending their ability for control in the Russian Arctic, doesn't make it not news. The Japanese extending control over Manchuria for resources in the late 20s and early 30s made perfect sense. That was news though. This may not be as controversial as my example but I like being better informed about the geopolitical situation. I for one hadn't given much thought to the area before reading this thread and I came away from it informed.

Sure, the Russians have been operating in the Arctic for centuries, but now they are expanding their ability to keep ships fueled and supplied in the more remote regions of the Northern Sea Passage, which has become more accessible in the last decade. It will only become more so.

They are planning to do such things as "create several infrastructure hubs along the Northern Sea Route in the Arctic to be used as temporary stations for Russian warships and border guard vessels"

and to "to deploy a combined-arms force by 2020 to guard its political and economic interests in the Arctic"

"Combined Arms" means air force and ground assets will be deployed into the Russian Arctic to supplement that navy that has been operating in the region since forever. That seems novel enough to qualify as news for me.

Also, there is a lot of money going into this region,
In April, the Russian government unveiled plans to spend around 1.3 trillion rubles ($44 billion) on economic and social projects in the Arctic before 2020. According to the Russian Ministry for Regional Development, the projects will include the creation of new transportation corridors and the development of new hydrocarbon deposits and social infrastructure in the region. The private sector is expected to contribute some 80 billion rubles ($2.7 billion) to the projects.


I guess you didn't read the article because it wasn't news though

I find it kind of repulsive that you insult the OP like that so that you can feed your sumg-ass sense of superiority instead of, you know, contributing to the forum

Why do those in charge immediately think of War Games?

What is Politics? To sit and talk about things, not to set Strategic Positions and get ready to fight....

Well thats what I thought Politics was about anyway....

Why are we still in that kind of Roman Invasion frame of mind?

Resource was here before Man and its Free or supposed to be anyway... it's over-population which is causing lack of Resource!

And maybe if the Elites had decided to go with Free Energy (which is/was available according to some top Scientists such as Tesla) then they wouldn't need to be thinking straight away 'War' as there would be no need for it....

Keep others off their territory? Hunter Gatherer instincts?

Sit and talk comes first and if no agreement reached then obviously they fight

Who are you referring to US or Russia? The topic is about Russia and the Naval Infrastructure.

Agree however wish it worked that way in reality. Even the animals have territories. What makes you think humans will let go of their territories?
