The US military said that Russia could seize the Arctic
The US military discovered another “Russian threat”. This time, the region where Russia threatens the United States is indicated by the Arctic.
The Arctic strategy, developed by US military analysts, says that Russia may, contrary to the opinion of the international community, establish the borders of its continental shelf in the area and, with the help of the army, block access there. It is reported TASS.
The Americans justify their concern about the Arctic by the fact that it can become a "potential vector" for conducting an attack on the United States. I must admit that this is a very successful universal formulation with which the Pentagon can justify its actions in any corner of the globe.
The US military felt that to give the threat more weight, it would be nice to drag China there too. In the document, they indicate that Russia is not alone, but together with China “are engaged in activities and deployment of opportunities in the Arctic, which may pose risks to the United States."
And, in fact, the salt of the written: a situation in which Russia will occupy a dominant position in the Arctic can “directly or indirectly” prevent the United States from transferring its armed forces around the world.
If everything is more or less clear with the “Russian threat” in the Arctic, it is not clear how the Pentagon plans to solve this problem, having three old icebreakers available, two of which serve as donors for spare parts for the third.
