Russia and Canada as opposed to the sovereignty of the Arctic

Russia decides to accelerate the race for the Arctic and opens a new front in an international comparison , with Canada as the counterparty. The position was caused by the desire to counter the decision of Ottawa to extend its sovereignty over a portion of territory disputed between the two countries. Putin has expressly stated to act for the protection of the security and defense of Russian national interests , drawing the attention of military installations in Moscow already present in the region . In addition, the plan is to equip the Russian expeditions to the Arctic, from infrastructure to rapidly mobilize the armed services, reactivate it comes to a military airport in eastern Siberia and works on the military base of Severomorsk , home of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy . Canada had advanced at a committee of the United Nations , the demand for sovereignty over the geographic North Pole , where its Russia had already planted its flag , but Denmark also has claimed sovereignty over the area, but is that Moscow has planted the most of the infrastructure, including oil platforms in the surrounding area , showing some activity in the region, corresponding to a precise plan of the Kremlin, to extend its dominance in Arctic regions . The question has often been on the verge of exploding, now threatens to explode , at least from a diplomatic point of view . The ever-increasing need for energy resources, moves the states around the world to search for the domain of these huge spaces and uninhabited , rich in raw materials , but crucial to the Earth's ecosystem . Intensive exploitation and indiscriminate , which is what they want to do all the states that vie for Arctic territory , threatens to cause devastating effects on the global climate , with consequences even more devastating than the local diplomatic conflicts or skirmishes . The thing would have to be managed globally, with agreements that prevented the exploitation of these territories , except for limited scientific purposes , but in the negative effects of globalization. the race to produce ever more intensive requires a greater energy intake and deposits under the ice promise substantial quantities of raw materials. But environmental considerations do not serve to alter the plans of nations, and we are therefore faced with a future of political confrontations tight , military brink of the incident , an easy prediction to make, even on the basis of what is happening in the disputed islands in the South east Asia. So the Arctic is about to become a new global front , a source of potential danger and balance highly unstable , with a completely uncertain future , but certainly not positive .
