NATO is very disturbed by the engagement of Russia in the Arctic region and intends to prevent it. As stated by the Secretary General of the Alliance, the immediate task of the military-political bloc will be increasing the presence of NATO in the Arctic.
Political elite NATO is concerned about the strengthening of the military component of Russia in the Arctic, as it interferes with the Western countries to get their hands on fossils, which are rich in the North. Russia is actively developing the region as it available, the first powerful icebreaker fleet. The West has no such possibilities, but don't want to give in Arctic Russia, threatening expansion of the military presence.
Moreover, all served in this form that Russia is to blame for the actions of NATO. The Alliance did "white and fluffy" and established "exclusively for the defense of" Western countries "aggressive Russia". So in this case when we blame is put supposedly active militarization of the Arctic. As stated by the same Stoltenberg, of which Russia has described as a simple "talking head" voicing the orders of the owners of Washington, the Kremlin allegedly reactivated military bases "of the Soviet era", and conducts testing of weapons, particularly a hypersonic missiles, in General, very concerned about the West. In order to rein in Russia, the Alliance decided to expand its presence in the region.
Stoltenberg said in an interview with a German newspaper.
In addition to Russia, another headache for NATO is China, which is developing the Arctic region. Climate change makes the region more and more important for navigation and the Chinese company is actively sending cargo via the Northern sea route. But to say that this is the shortest route from Europe to Asia have my eye on US, probably not necessary. In Washington sleep and see how they control it. Remained the least is to defeat Russia, to destroy and divide its wealth. The first steps towards this is made in Ukraine, where Ukrainian soldiers die for the desire of Washington and London.
