Russia Announces Complete Militarization of the North Pole by 2020
Russia;s immediate goals are to equip military facilities mainly on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, the Franz Josef Archipelago, the New Siberian archipelago and the Wrangel Island. Russia’s interest in the North Pole is not just tied to expanding military domination of the region. There are also economic designs as well as Putin is expanding trade routes and mining expecitions in the Arctic, which will be supported by building a massive transport and energy production infrastructure.
In order to protect their Nort Pole activities, Russia is developing as well as installing military bases in the the Northern Sea Route linking Europe and Asia. Russia views this as necessary because of their lack of usable water ports.
British geographer and military historian, Sir Halford MacKinder, in1904, wrote an article that changed how politicians and military men viewed the world. It was a perception that influenced Hitler to send his troops eastward in an attack upon Russia in 1940. It was also the driving force that led to the underpinnings for superpower foreign policy which guided foreign policy for both sides during the Cold War. The theory that had so influenced nearly three generations of strategists was called simply, the Heartland Theory.
Basically, Mackinder’s Heartland Theory viewed geo-political military history as a struggle between land-based and sea-based powers. Mackinder believed the world had become a “closed” system, with virtually no new lands left for the Europeans powers to discover, to conquer, and to fight over without creating chaos elsewhere. According to the theory the common denominator for world conflict has been reduced to sea powers vs. land-based powers which would subsequently struggle for dominance of the world, and the ultimate victor would be in a position to set up a world empire. The determining factor in this struggle was physical geography; “Man and not nature initiates, but nature in large measure controls”.
This is an unmitigated disaster for NATO miitary planners.
