If these two Nordic countries were to join the Western military alliance, the Arctic Council
— an intergovernmental organization that fosters cooperation in the Arctic region —
would be significantly impacted. Russian foreign ministry Maria Zakharova noted this by
bringing up how the addition of Finland and Sweden to NATO would make Russia the only
non-NATO member of the organization.
“It cannot be ignored that once these countries join the alliance, all member states of the
Arctic Council apart from Russia will be members of the North Atlantic bloc,”
“This could lead to increased militarization of the Arctic region but in turn, it would mean
a significant increase in tensions over high latitude security risks.”
The Arctic is one area that geopolitical tinkerers in the US Deep State have been obsessing
over. Several security experts believe this region potentially has vast gas reserves that Russia
could tap into. For that reason, NATO is doing all it can to find ways to contain Russia in the
Arctic.
As long as there is a foreign uniparty consensus in DC and the foreign policy think tank
complex is in business, there will always be the threat of conflict on the horizon.
