President Donald Trump’s renewed focus on Greenland raises questions about Arctic security, alliance politics and whether rhetoric is outpacing reality. Arctic experts @ArcticTroy and @MarcLanteigne7 help us make sense of it all.

“Every time a state vessel or aircraft enters the area, it’s collecting information,” said @ArcticTroy “The only way to respond is to intercept and push them out.

“And places like Adak provide outstanding positions to base the assets needed to meet it.”

Trump’s order on seabed mining presages “an entire system that has been developing for many years being circumvented while a competitor system is established,” says @ArcticTroy

President Trump only thinks in business terms. He feels that he and the United States are too big and powerful to even have to negotiate with other entities like Greenland and Denmark says @ArcticTroy

The U.S. government desparately needs an AI tool to help write better shipbuilding solicitations and conduct reviews of vendor proposals. Here's why in my latest contribution, with thanks to @johnkonrad and @malte_humpert

Great reporting from @malte_humpert on the cloak-and-dagger operations of the FSB (successor to KGB) and their takeover of western crew on Russia’s Arc7 Arctic LNG carriers.

Don’t tell me you don’t want Canadian LNG displacing these villains.

The Arctic is where we build warfighters with grit, who fight through unforgiving conditions and never quit.

JPMRC 25-02 is where cohesive teams of some of the most adaptive, lethal soldiers the Army has to offer are tested. And proven.

While 🇷🇺 and 🇨🇳 shape discourse to advance their interests for Arctic, enhancing information sharing and coordinating Arctic homeland defense efforts will enable NATO to manage regional security and uphold collective defense principles.

@JohnPet69972896 @SamuelFByers There's not much that can be done at the peer level until there is solid evidence that is state sanctioned/connected. For now, it remains a criminal sub-state actor issue.
Hence, why there are no sanctions yet.
