kinda nuts how Russia has sent the Best of their Arctic Forces to be butchered in Ukraine over the last 2 Winters and are now trying to fill the gap with Conscripts and Cold War Weapons.

US, Norway, Sweden, Canada, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark all need to be working on a joint project to build a fleet of super breakers and arctic bases. Like now...

Another nail in Putins coffin

Trying to assert geopolitical/economic dominance over the arctic for resource exploitation is just another nail in the coffin of civilization. Our epitaph will be short and bitter - THERE WAS MONEY TO BE MADE

We have heard lots of ex military personels in the past it is nice to see that former intelegence commander of the Finnish miltary inteligence officer P Toveri is also heard. Since Finland has been the root to the western powers for past 80 years

Thank you Times Radio, this is interesting. Russia’s specialist Arctic Troops and equipment have been destroyed in Ukraine. The fact they were even sent to Ukraine is a sign of desperation. What a waste of Russian and Ukrainian lives, on one man’s hubris.

The Soviet Union/Russia: the greatest NATO recruiter in history.

With an economy that is ranked 11th in the world ( about the size of Italy ) and a population that is shrinking ( and its life expectancy declining ! ), how is it possible for Russia to accomplish its goals ?

Please turn down the volume for the intense action movie score. Very distracting

I've sat off Murmansk in an SSBN for weeks - they never dominated the arctic.

The future Han- Muscovite wars will be around water resources and the reclaiming of Outer Manchuria to settle the last standing unequal treaty. China has ALREADY declared part of Mongol - Moscow empire as its territory on new official maps China's state-owned Standard Map Service has presented a set of geographic maps for 2023, on which for the first time part of Moscow's territory is indicated as part of China. It is about the Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island on the Amur River.

Putin our obedient dog 🇨🇳 💪

I love the Finns.

Hardly a word about Canada?

Russia has giant nuclear icebreakers and we don't. I'd say that gives them a pretty solid advantage in the Arctic.

👍🏻 well done and thanks for inviting Pekka T. he has a wast knowledge in the area.

Where is Canada Artic defense?

24:30 He just summed up this whole video in seconds. Could not agree more.

Its fine if there was a nuclear exchange because it would be over the north pole. Meanwhile polar bears be like

Thank you for this informative discussion. The western world needs to be more proactive in protecting its' interests in the far north. We have been too complacent and short sighted.

Pootin is TOAST

Excellent episode !!

Great discussion from a knowledgeable team.

No military should be in the artic, the people need to stand up and demand all removals!

You forgot Norway as a stakeholder in Antarctica. Also, it seems like some of you have the misconception that Finland has access to the arctic sea. It is locked in to the north by Norway and russia. So Finland won't be closer to Asia (by sea) than Spain is.

Wait, how did penguins get into the Arctic? 19:18, penguins!

Weaponised ice caps... Great. "mess with us and its water world"

Comforting

This intro is like some cutscene from command and conquer 😂😂😂

What did Machiavelli say about starting wars ? 🤷

Moscow horde´s war record :- 1856 defeated by Britain and France 1905 defeated by Japan 1917 defeated by Germany 1920 defeated by Poland, Finland, Estonia and all Baltic states 1939 defeated by Finland 1969 defeated by China 1989 defeated by Afghanistan 1989 defeated in the Cold War. 1996 defeated by Chechnya 2022 defeated by Ukraine WW2 won USA/Britain , meanwhile Stalin's officers were shot or sent to the Gulags. Millions went to the Gulags, including Solzhenitsyn Moscow's only victories come from invading smaller countries :- a) Hungary 1956 b) Czechoslovakia 1968 c) Moldova 1992 d) Georgia 2008

In January 2022, several naval assets were transferred from the Northern Fleet (and from the other fleets as well) to the Black Sea Fleet and passed through the Bosphorus Strait just before the invasion in Ukraine was launched. After the war started, personnel has been drained from Russian bases in the North-West to bolster the number of Russian troops in Ukraine. During summer of 2023, the Russian forces on the Kola peninsula dropped below 20% of pre-war levels.

Very interesting

No mention of Canada when it comes to the arctic. Silly oversight or telling commentary on Ottawa’s short sightedness

Putin is not talking about this . He could lose the North Pole

That music in the background was to annoying to watch the rest of video.

58000 Quadrillion someone rattled off in resources in the Arctic.

If the Gulf stream changes one way or the other, we may have rethink everything.

Sorry. Checked out early. Why the music???

Woa dude the US millitary installations in Alaska are not in a state of disrepair. Fort Greeley is there so is Fort wainwright so is Ellison Air Force base. The Clear Space force command is there and the Alaska National guard has 3 bases there as well. We also have early warning radar stations there we have ballistic missile interceptors there. The big ones that destroy them in space. Plus on Canadian territory in the arctic circle we have had a radar tracking station and early warning radar stations up there since the 1950’s. I don’t know where you got your info but it’s incorrect. Alaska is where the Arctic warfare training center is at. There is also a Special Forces group at Fort Greeley. Green Berets.

Think again he still holds the artic

It is so hard to know what to trust. This is really interesting but why at 19:19 are there penguins??? Penguins live in Antarctica not the Arctic - don't they?

Any naval ship travelling at the speed of an icebreaker is a sitting duck, with no scope for evasive manoeuvring. Canadas' Arctic has no ports, airstrips, roads or rail systems, and aids to navigation. So an invasion would be stuck there, if they could even raise an invasion armada.

Arctic expansion (A pipedream scenario) There are a lot of obsolete vessels around the world. This mothball fleet cost cheap. And its a burden to present owners and local government. This fleet ought to be bought and brought first to Alaska, Bering straight, then to Norway waters. There it ought to be sank gradually, piled unless it's an obstacle to modern deep drought ships/vessels. Firstly in Alaska, so it prevents any significant Chinese ship crossing Bering straight. Next is Norway. The sunken ships damb, ought to be long enough to block northern fleet outgoing. Thus, two perspective goals are reached. No Chinese in Arctica, limits to northern fleet as well. Arctic future conflict is localised and downsized. There are further benefits. Russian and Chinese intelligence will find out soon, and will try to prevent it, rising prices and buying themselves, which will drain their own resources. Russia might be so desperate, that present regime will decide to go all out nuclear in this event, which will enable retaliative blow, that will end any further ambitions forever.

I thought Vlad was winning in Ukraine!

We are still watching the Russians and Chinese like hawks. We never stopped watching them. And our best geostationary satralite that detect ballistic missile launched among other things they do other things too but even if China or Russia blew up one of our sattalites these geostationary satalites are like 68,000 miles out in space. They aren’t in low earth orbit or even standard earth orbit which is about 1000 miles.

Also, Finland doesn’t even have Arctic coastline. Why are they talking solely with the finish general?!

There is already a gaping hole in the bottom of the barrel. It is best to stop scraping it.

Whoops.

They never had the money the Chinese do 😵‍💫

So many keyboard warriors but when real war comes they all run back to Paris or Berlin.😅

❤Ukrainian ❤

Arctic should be a nature reserve. No fishing. No oil or gas. And no Russians.

The UK people love Russia not Sunak ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Anyone in the Kremlin knows Russia's position and must notice NATO isn't invading

Why do you always lie about Putin?) There's nothing like it)

Have some respect, the illegitimate dictator of Chyna is called 'Winnie the Pooh' not 'she', 😂💩🤡

why that awful background music? Sounds like a fake station

James Poopey ??

sirius patrol

Let Elon musk take over to build military bases state of the art they would be the most soficiticated on earth.

The Russian arctic base is a vanity project that is mostly unfinished inside. Stop buying into the glitz and propaganda

cheeseboards and brandy

We Swedes and Finns needs to remember Urho Kekkonen's word that we never can change the fact that our great neighbour is and will always be Russia

Капут ин /Kaput in

Jane dumped communism for capitalism. Who is the hypocrite now?

for the love of god, would you people please stop clipping your own videos. what a waste of everyone's time. someone needs to go pour some iced coffee on your editors

No matter the truth, it's all anti Vladimir on this channel

🇫🇮🇬🇧🫡

The music in the intro is NOT overkill at all 😂 Not at all I said!

Really? Because I watched a documentary recently about the amount of infrastructure Russia has built their, a small city! And they were recently drilling in an area Britain lays claim to

I love putin❤

Move over Grauniad, The Tiems is top dog now. Not a good look, this isn’t the first blunder either. Have you cut all the copy-editors/become over-reliant on interns?

Times Radio needs to build its own cope cages.

Daily Does of Purest Copium on YT.

FP & Fdjt

For domestic brain washing purpose

You people are funny or insane! 😂

I wanted to watch this but the presenter lost all his credibility suggesting that war over the arctic was inevitable. Obviously this is just hype and the rest of what is said cannot be trusted.

Ukraine is winning 🫣🫣🫣😜🤪

Otan 😂😂😂

Canada ain’t doing 💩 😂 Not even 2% NATO 😮

Another day another times radio Russian propaganda story😂

What did Machiavelli say about starting wars ? 🤷
