Russia has long sought economic & military dominance in the Arctic, a region that holds as much as $35T worth of untapped oil & NG, valuable minerals including Gold, Silver, Diamond, Copper, Titanium, Graphite, Uranium & invaluable Rare Earth elements that could soon be within reach as the ice recedes.
Even China—a nation with no territorial claim to the Arctic—has begun funding Arctic development projects. It underscores the region's growing global importance and influence.
One thing is sure: the Arctic to Russia is what Berlin was to the West. The great powers’ competition during the Cold War in Europe will now be replicated in the Arctic in the twenty-first century, but with China added to the contest.
