Well, the old bear is at it again. Russia as part of their pursuit of hydrocarbon security is now making noise about claiming more and more of the arctic as their own. Not too surprising as their latest National Security Strategy (which is still AWOL, the official version that is) specifies constant and secure access to hydrocarbons and believes in completely unfettered access to the Arctic. And they have no qualms with using military force to get to it. Rwaar! (h/t to Danger Room!) Sphere: Related Content
