I start this interview with a super simple question: where is the Arctic?
As it turns out, the answer may not be so simple. In fact, it's a serious question that invokes geopolitical conflicts that seem to be undermining the "exceptionalism" of the Arctic.
►In this interview, I discuss the following with Dr. Troy Bouffard:
- Countries in the Arctic - the Arctic 8, 5 & 3.
- China - a "Near Arctic Country".
- Russia and China joint show of force in the Arctic - a wakeup call for America!
- Can/could Russia embarrass the U.S. with its Arctic forces?
- Is America prepared to enforce Arctic security?
- Is Canada prepared to enforce Arctic security?
- How have hypersonic weapons changed Arctic security?
- Why don't satellites and lasers work in the Arctic?
- What role does Greenland play in Arctic security?
