This morning I read a troubling news report that Russia has begun building new military bases in the Arctic. While Russia’s investment in military infrastructure is not necessarily a precursor to future hostility, it is more evidence that the U.S. is not appropriately stepping up its activities in the Arctic and investing in a region where commercial and international activities are increasing. I am concerned that we as a nation are setting ourselves up for another ‘Sputnik Moment,’ but this time falling behind more than any other country with even non-Arctic nations like China and India investing in icebreakers and acknowledging the value of the region.
