“NATO”. we have to be prepared for conflict in the region,” Admiral Bloomberg quotes. Bauer also noted that Russia is capable of operating in the Arctic and investing significant resources in Arctic air bases and other infrastructure.
At the same time, he expressed the caveat that NATO does not believe that the Arctic has “immediately” become a hot spot.< /p >
