    Canada, for our part, has been building a Naval base on the northern end of Baffin Island, so the government is prepared to stake its claim and defend its land.
  • The Polar Bears have already declared their allegiance with Canada.

    This is petty ambitious for a country running out of money and people. I hate people that think a 500% increase from zero is impressive. Percentages don't tell the real numbers.

    Always Impresive!! I don't know how you do it; productions of this calibre and quality of content are normally only creatred by much 'bigger' channels. Soon, you too, will have a GOLD YT Play Button on your wall. The amount of money they are investing and the development time frame - is concerning!
  • @adamfrazer5150
    ....52 bases/outposts ?! This is like playing an RTS and stumbling across your opponent 😮
  • @necroparagon7226
    Love the video! Extra informative as always and shows why Russia is a global threat in yet another way. Also, I'm sorry to point it out, but somehow Greeland only enhances the experience 😂

    7:56 Im not positive and dont feel like looking. but I believe this ship is a type of cargo ship with an ice breaking hull, which plays in to the major investments the Russia's are making in the artic. Along with the terminal the ship is meant to visit ( if it is the ship) is the only project I've heard come in under budget and on time out of all the grand projects they announce.
  • @ShadowScoutSwede
    Yeah, they try but Sweden is close to the arctic as well so if there would be a conflict there, we would also be drawn in to it. And Sweden has also interested in arctic as well.
  • @user-ly5pd1sb7z
    WHAT A HORROR . The Russians dared to create a military base in their economic zone in the Arctic.
  • @17091ira0072
    hi you market Svalbard as Icelandic, when it is infact Norwegian
  • @itemushmush
    why is there a blurry box in the video? i dont get it, is it watermarking the video?
  • Resources? Not gas and oil. We’ve already discovered far more oil and gas than we can use in areas that are far easier, cheaper, and safer. Was it Shell or BP that tried to set up in the Arctic Ocean a few years back and lost their entire investment? One storm-driven iceberg can ruin your oil platform, and oil platforms can't dodge. Fishing and right of passage are issues. Fossil fuels are a red herring. Minerals are a Greenland thing.

    when you say it the way you do, ant-arctic, it becomes clear that this naming choice was not a coincidence.
