Unknown Arctic
Description
Like Canada and its stake on the Northwest Passage, Russia considers the Northeast Passage waters as interior, therefore theirs. Russia has also more means to assert its claim. It possesses a fleet of nuclear submarines and its ice-breakers exceed all that Canada or the United States hold in regard to ice-strengthened ships. There is no doubt that Russia’s presence in the Arctic is meant to be powerful and prepared to conquer.
