  6. Russia is targeting Norway's Svalbard in Arctic power grab, it is pushing to invade and rename the island “Pomor Islands” . #ArcticFront 🧵

  7. "Additionally, 22% of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas reserves are believed to lie beneath the Arctic ice—ice that could dramatically shrink or even disappear within the next two decades." #ArcticFront

  8. "The island hosts an airstrip capable of supporting aviation operations, as well as port infrastructure suitable for various types of vessels." #ArcticFront

    Russia Targets Svalbard in Arc...

  10. "Russia’s efforts to increase its influence in the region stem from two primary motives: logistics and resources. The Arctic shipping route is twice as fast for transporting goods from China to Europe compared to the Suez Canal." #ArcticFront

  11. "One of the key provisions of the Svalbard Treaty is the prohibition of military bases on the archipelago. Russian State Duma member Andrey Gurulyov has openly called for establishing military facilities on Svalbard." #ArcticFront

  12. "Wars mean endogroups, strategic alliances and being prepared to defend yourself." #ArcticFront #CdnPoli

  13. "We also need military spending, a weapons industry and a strong economy if we expect anyone to form an alliance with us. None of us want to be spending money, resources or time on this, but we are in a war and we need to act like it." #ArcticFront #CdnPoli

  14. "The countries bordering the Arctic are all European except Greenland, which has a special EU relationship, and the US. We clearly need European alliances." #ArcticFront #CdnPoli

  15. "Carney’s 'founding fathers' rhetoric may sound cringeworthy, but politics is all about rhetoric. Macron called Canada a “unique friend” of France, a valuable outlook when Carney is negotiating for Canada to be included in the post NATO, EU military initiative." #ArcticFront #CdnPoli

  16. "Carney is also the first Prime Minister I have seen take the Arctic and the people in the territories this seriously, since they only have one MP each." #ArcticFront #CdnPoli 🧵🍁

  17. "So is the weapons-manufacturing, resource-industry-developing, wartime-alliance-building leadership we are seeing. In fact, I strongly objected to Trudeau not providing that leadership last year (before he stepped down and stepped up)." #ArcticFront #CdnPoli

  18. "Voters in rural, isolated and northern communities are the most likely to be successfully targeted by colonialist propaganda, both because they are disenfranchised and ignored in Canadian governance as it is and because they are accustomed to transactional politics."  #ArcticFront #CdnPoli

  19. "We are in a snap back phase. Less metaphorically, the Arctic wars that we all knew were coming are here. The flag-waving, anthem-singing Canada that has just re-emerged is necessary right now." #ArcticFront #CdnPoli

  20. "Let's hope the spotlight brought by sovereignty and resources extends to building infrastructure and providing services. We can always hope." #ArcticFront #CdnPoli

  21. The Trump led US is seeking to create an Arctic partnership with Russia and joint exploration of Arctic natural resources. It's one of the points the Trump & Putin regimes touched on during the faux Ukraine "peace negotiations" in Saudi Arabia. #ArcticFront newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/us-and-...

  22. At the 2024 Arctic Circle Assembly, NATO partners outlined countermeasures: Canada and Nordic nations plan a new Arctic Security Dialogue, while the ICE-PAC agreement between the US, Canada, and Finland aims to build up to 90 polar icebreakers to boost presence in the High North. #ArcticFront

  23. The TOR-M2DT can fire several types of surface to air missiles and has a modern tracking radar with a range of 25-30km, rotating at 360 degrees. Russian media claims that it can identify up to 40 aerial targets simultaneously and engage with up to 4 targets at the same time. #ArcticFront

  24. "Arctic military combat between NATO forces and Russia was once deemed unlikely, but since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, it is “now dangerously feasible,” the Simons Foundation Canada (SFC) reported in February 2025." #ArcticFront

    How Russia Is Preparing for Wa...

  25. The maker—JSC Vityaz—is under heavy sanctions (US, EU, Canada, Australia), but continues to supply Russia’s Arctic forces. These weapons have seen action in Ukraine. Some are vulnerable to drones—but Russia is learning and adapting fast. So far Ukraine has managed to destroy at least 2. #ArcticFront

  26. "Analysts routinely warn Canada to “urgently beef up Arctic defenses” to protect Canadian sovereignty against Russian “expansionist ambitions,” SFC reported." #ArcticFront www.thesimonsfoundation.ca/sites/defaul...

  27. So far there is no Western equivalent, limiting the range of action possible in the Arctic by allies. Meaning Russia currently has total operational superiority in this new and growing war zone. This means it could launch attacks on Canada, Europe, and allies with impunity. #ArcticFront

  28. Key to Russia's war buildup is the DT-30PM Vityaz, a two-link all-terrain vehicle designed for Arctic warfare (minus 50°C and deep snow). It now carries: Tornado-G MRLS (new Arctic version). Tor-M2DT (short-range missile defense). Pantsir-SA (anti-aircraft system). 120mm Magnolia. #ArcticFront

  29. Backed by a sanctioned weapons manufacturer JSC Vityaz, the Kremlin is adapting high-tech systems for extreme conditions. Since 2011, Russia has reopened Arctic bases at breakneck speed as it prepares the space for war and the possible invasion of Canada, Greenland, and Nordic Europe. #ArcticFront 🧵

  30. Russia has repeatdly cut undersea cables for neighbouring nations, jammed GPS across NATO territory, and repeatedly violated Scandinavian and North American airspace. The Arctic is being unnecessarily ceded to Russia, making it a launchpad for future Kremlin aggression & a battlefield. #ArcticFront

  31. Russia control over the Northern Sea Route and the ability to charge global shipping fees, and it's actively trying to annex 1.2 million km² of seabed, including the North Pole. #ArcticFront bastion-karpenko.ru/russia-and-t...

  32. The Arctic: Holds 22% of world’s oil & gas (412B barrels). Shorter trade route between Asia & Europe (40% faster than Suez). Critical launch point for nuclear-capable systems. It’s melting fast and in the past 3 years, Russia has earned over $800B from Arctic resource extraction. #ArcticFront

  33. Russia has its eyes on the Arctic, as global warming continues to ramp up the natural barrier between Russia and the rest of the free world is rapidly disappearing. This has put Russia in the direct path towards war with Canada and Nordic Europe. #ArcticFront 🧵

  34. 1pm ET: Oooh we're getting a tiny bit of wet snow rn in Brooklyn NY!
