CNN reported on the development of escalating tensions between Russia and the United States. The B-1 bomber, which has also been used in Iraq and against Syrian troops in the past, is going to be deployed within the next several months off the coast of Norway in the Arctic Circle. By moving forces much closer to Russia’s border, the United States will be able to respond to potential Russian aggression sooner. In comparison to Donald Trump, President Joe Biden will be demonstrating a tougher approach to Putin and insuring that other allies are protected in the situation of an attack from Russia. The Defense Department has been becoming concerned with the number of Russia’s movements in an attempt to militarize the Arctic and its natural resources. The United States assumes that Russia needs access to the Arctic for its hydrocarbons and it is becoming vital to their continuation of a good GDP. I think that this article is important to this class because we were recently talking about Putin and how different the United States' relationship is going to be with Russia.
