Streit um die Arktis

[Schneemann]

Ich poste es mal vorbehaltlich hier: Ich mag Gilday eigentlich, er hat bislang ein recht guten Job gemacht (vor allem ist er eher wenig aufgefallen). Nun ja, entscheidend, weswegen ich es hier poste, ist nicht die Idee eines RIMPAC in Europa - da hätte es auch in den NATO-Strang gehören können -, sondern die Formulierung Euro-Atlantic polar region...

Das heißt nicht, dass ich es schlecht fände.

US Navy Chief Calls For RIMPAC-Style Exercise In Euro-Atlantic Region

The polar region of the Euro-Atlantic theatre becomes increasingly important in strategic terms. To such an extent that Western allies and partners could consider establishing a major multinational maritime exercise in this region, the US Navy’s (USN’s) Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Admiral Michael Gilday told a UK Royal Navy (RN) conference in London. [...] This significance is accelerating, as climate change potentially opens up new sea lines of communication (SLOCs) across the polar regions. [...]

Adm Gilday pointed to several specific events and sustained trends that are shaping Western strategic focus on the Euro-Atlantic polar region. “We no longer just talk about the trans-Atlantic nature of the [NATO] alliance. We are going to start talking about the trans-Polar aspect much more often. I think it’s going to drive our behaviour,” CNO said.
