Russia is “fully ready” for a conflict with NATO in the Arctic, the country’s foreign minister warned.
“We see NATO stepping up drills related to possible crises in the Arctic,” Sergey Lavrov said, according to Russian state media, in comments for a documentary series that were first reported Friday.
“Our country is fully ready to defend its interests militarily, politically and from the standpoint of defense technologies," he added.
His comments mark the latest round of saber-rattling by the Kremlin, which has repeatedly… threatened … to … unleash … nuclear … war on NATO and its allies in recent years.
The Arctic is the northernmost point on Earth and includes territory belonging to eight nations: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Canada, the United States, Iceland and Russia. All except Russia are NATO members.
Sounds right, and I’m sure worried. They rolled through Kyiv in 3 days because they’re so prepared!
Don’t forget how perfectly adequately the troops were supplied. Real body armor, real semtex, real reactive armor, well maintained small arms, plenty of food and warm clothes.
I am terrified about the prospects of an artic war with such a well supplied army.
and they sure have their navy on lockdown, no problems with ships randomly setting on fire or anything like that.
Largest permanent submarine fleet in the world…
New submarines added all the time, even.
Their joint venture with Ukraine is laying down new submarine hulls left and right!
Dont have to have much of these if the population is brainewashed and manipulated enough to die by the thousands for zero reasons.
See the west has a preset kill limit.
Well you see Ivan, if send enough people to freeze to death in Arctic eventually heat from decomposing bodies will warm terrain.
