Inside the Arctic Military Base at the Center of U.S.-Russia Tensions | WSJ 

you just ruined this video for me xD

Haha I lol’d the second I realized

hahahahah

Hahahahahaha

Are you referring to 0:07?

I think everything in this video is between the western coast and continuing west to Siberia. The whole eastern edge of Alaska is landlocked with Canada

@@JoeDiGiovanniIV Ok, thanks for the clarification Joe.

From what I've read, the U.S. does not recognize Canada's claim to sovereignty over the waters between those islands as anything beyond 12 miles is international waters.

@@livingthejourney8833 Amazing how the U.S. is determined to mess with every single one of their friends, even when they’re as close as Canada

Canada is just the 54th proxy state of the usa

I was out there in 96 for a few weeks. Many of these places have huge camps with only a few people there.

Intriguing So,how does the situation in the '80?

Was at tin city

Janitor?

@@davidcarlcapeheart1905 I was out there in the late 90s doing communications work. I have been to many of these sites. I went up the tram there.

How cold was it ?

thanks!

Agree

Sorry dude, with respects your country first needs to significantly increase your military budget. As it stands now we feel you can’t even take on our US Salvation Army.

Is Goose Bay still open?

yeah man not likely now the Russians couldn,t attack now if you turned of everything and went home, A world super power ha ha ha ha ha ha ha an army of scumbags a paper airforce and a navy full of drunks and cowards the threat is gone and its never coming back Canada on its own could wipe out any Russian attack they can barely make it to Ukriane Canada is safe as houses

me too

People heading toward dementia do develop lower and lower attention spans on the way.

i forgot what you said halfway through

And exit within 5

It's father and son

i lived in alaska for 4 months and it was rough

Can you explain more please?

@@MrHanninho No, other than it was a USAF issued order for their removal.

@@WootTootZoot Thanks!

@Alfred Churchill I think he is saying that you expand your artic coastline by buying more Icebreakers

Hang Putin next to Trump, then start fixing.

I've seen people disagreeing over petty things such as font color in my office. Cooperation at a such a big level is of course a challenge

Very true I worked on the cold war era DEWLINE in the Canadian arctic in the 80's and 90's on many stations in the Yukon and NWT which is now known as the North Warning System under Norad. The reality is both sides test each other to see how they react to zone penetration but the cost of escalation is to great to contemplate therefore they play mental chess and politics.

The propaganda already starts at 00:14 in this video: "the Russians are pushing and probing to see what they can achieve here. The US is trying to figure out how best to defend against such aggression". Insane paranoia and hypocrisy

These “news” episodes have to keep the zombies in the US to keep waving the flag and happily funding the forever wars.

Well said this video just made me laugh so much lol

Images how chaotic it would be if there wasn’t 800 us bases worldwide

I see the Russian Internet Defense Force is out in full force right now.

I don't think customs have the capability to stop an invasion force

4subvoid4 That’s only coz the US doesn’t want anyone to do what they do that’s considered as a major security threat

She said she could see Russia from her house. If she lives inside the radar dome she was right.

Sound Traveler Lol😂 that was crazy. 👍

Thelonious M Indeed. Lol😂

Lol

She lived in Juneau which is the state capital, it is closer to LA then tin city

@Michael Maya oh boy. This is bad when too many people are making guesses instead of researching it. Its public information and the truth is out there. But somehow you are dismissing it and placing your own conclusion. What you are saying is propaganda with your incorrect info. It's our there... go read up if you can. Lol Go read and learn....

Russia has been trying for years now to enter or slip American defenses in each side and artic is the best passage to access north america route it's is obvious the weak spot of American power so its just right to protect there own interest although russia and china are not actively invading countries or attacking anyone its just waiting for the perfect time to enter a Trojan horse on American soil. Russia has it owns history of genocides and china has its own ancient history of colonization on its region as dynasties. So it's just possible for future confrontations will take place bcos of confrontations over resources, politics,economy and militarily

No

Humanity doesn't work like that.

no

you want to get along with a country that's robbing democracy from people? where their very own people are trying to get a US citizenship?

America is cancer of the world!

Sounds like a opinion you would never hear on USA tv

Yeah and Santa Claus is real

all jokes aside Mr. French. until Putin attacks and takes out those radar sites, just like he did to Ukraine. The. you’ll sing a different tune about US not being prepared enough, sloppy..

I was at Sparrevohn 1972-1973

@@zjohnson8773 To be fair when I was there in the early 1970s the USSR was threatening not to invade but threatening to nuke us and we nuke them. All ICBMs we're on alert, locked and loaded and targeted. Not only did I work at Aircraft Control and Warning Site in Alaska but before that I worked on Minuteman ICBM systems. No invasion necessary. Still isn't. More than 200 airmen were shot down while spying on the Soviet Union.

No. OTH takes up more space as it uses ground reflection to focus the beam.

its american oil and gas

If Russia wanted it they shouldn’t have sold the land to us.

Yall are talking about oil.. which is somewhat true but this is more about defending shipping routes.

Hahahaha

Eric Jesse hahaha got em good . And when we bought Alaska it was a total kill .

Nah you see, it's only fair if we do it because we bring freedum and cheeseburger, they can't because they bad.

Russia brings V O D K A

Roman Iacobucci their is a treaty called open sky’s. But just flying into Russian territory highly unlikely. Commercial jets only fly over with appropriate approval from the communist government

It happens all the time, but we don’t talk about that lol. We do the exact same thing to them as they do to us and it’s gone on for decades now. 👍🏻

@@eye_am_chris ya but you guys have way cooler jets! So it's not a big deal. 😂😂

Unauthorized flights of US military aircraft over the territory of Russia/USSR haven't been carried out since 1960.

@@alphabeta898 That's a lot of data screw OPSEC I guess

Uh huh 🙄

Um...

When it comes to China, I think they have an agreement with Russia. But in general, I don't see what the big deal is. Let countries with arctic shores exploit their own resources if they want.

Maybe not nuclear, maybe conventional. I think conventional is much more likely

A nuke war won’t happen or at least it’s unlikely. Nobody wants to die

It's not gonna be a nuke war.. it's to protect the northern passage and make sure it stays free for everyone to use. That's about it. Think about how much oil and fuel this will save. Think about how much emissions we have created going around continents instead of going through it. This will also now reduce emissions because the route cuts the distance to a fraction of what it use to be. Nothing about claiming territory.. its about making sure shipping lanes remain free for everyone to use. You co trolling trade routes.. you can control the economy.

@@mikedodge2713 those that survive will die slowly. Radiation ,contamination, lack of resources. Serves no purpose. Those that want any war should sign up and fight instead of key board soldiers.

I'm pretty sure Russia is well aware of the radar capabilities in Alaska considering they have been doing this for well over 50 years. Truthfully, it wasn't considered a big deal then and shouldn't be now.

Wrong.

@@michaelrice500 no, he is correct. adiz is not reglamented in international traties

Ian Cioch that was greenland and canada in the summer. By the fall the snow will fall again and the ice will freeze again

Well heres a better reponse. Not making a new path... it melted away itself exposing a new opportunity. Making it safe for anyone to travel is another. Which no one else is willing to do or will out out the money to do. The part you are correct on is the environmental part. This shorter route will cut cost.. decrease carbon emissions because only a fraction of the fuel will be used to ship. Something 5000 Miles away may be a 1000 direct route. We are about 15,000 years overdue for another polar reversal. During that period.. the climate will change like it has done in the past. The environmentalist somehow global warming is all man made. Only a small fraction is. And yet again the environmentalist fail to see that all this meat they are eating is the true cause. Increased demands for cattle, which in turn means more cattle. Livestock alone contributes to 20% of the greenhouse gasses. Everytime thebtreehugger rally... they create an increase an increase on fuel consumption. Oil makes plastic and even the clothes you wear, metals. Most the stuff you use is made from oil. Even stuff not made by oil used oil in the machines to make the product. Food is transport by oil. Remember those Tesla electric cars? All made by oil. They said electric was better than oil. Now they are finding out that the electric cars harm the environment even more. There isnt a way to dispose of all the used batteries. They dont know what to do with them and will end up in the ocean.

It's going to repeat itself again. The canadians little brothers will come running to big brother US as soon as you see the Russians closing in near you guys and start building military bases. What's funny is this passage runs through Canada. The russians will be intruding in your space too. The passage runs through canada. Before this passage, ships had to go around.. now they can cut straight through. You're gonna love it when Russia claims the passage that runs through your country.

Dear, Russian is not a threat for the USA TRUE.This video is a propaganda ... But that doesn't mean USA have more advance weapons than Russia.. because it have a biggest military budget. Money doesn't translate to high-tech weapons ...or esle Quatar, saudi Arabia , Dubai would been the world super powers too. Brain and money makes high - tech weapons. The Russian possessed the world most advance weapons in the form of scalar waves and quantum physics .

We def do have more advanced weapons than Russia.. fast forward to the Russia Ukraine conflict

@@alberthenriette8976 You are joking, right? The Idea of Scalar Waves & Quantum Physics as weapons is so far out, even the super crazy-people don´t push this stories anymore since a very long time. All Russia produces is corruption and violations of basic human rights; its Orc Army might be able to murder children & woman and very old people on bicycles, however against an actual Western Military Power it would stand zero chances as they actually fight back and then the military gear from the 1960 that Russia is mostly using today is worthless... Building a couple of gen5 fighter is fun, but if you can´t use them because they are so unique it is also pretty pointless.

@@cr8t_studios38 you are right, there are lots of hypocrites in US politics but i'm unaware of any American invasions in the China Sea and the invasion of Iraq was a monstrous lie. Americans are waking up to that fact and is why Trump was elected. *BUT* the US has not annexed any territory unlike China and Russia. Tibet, South China Sea and Ukrainian Crimea just to name a few in modern history.

That's kind of deliberately neglected

Well this is a video about the military and not about climate change. Should they delve into every issue imaginable to produce a 30 minute mess? No. The scope of a topic is important in keeping the subject matter material to the subject.

Jack Spooky Rapidly melting sea ice is a pretty big problem, bigger than a very unlikely attack from the Russians.

1. That makes no sense 2. Ya, why not just use the F-16...cheap...and still one of the best fighters on the planet

All were doing is pushing unnecessary airframe hours on the F-22

@@dukeofmecklenburg-strelitz8030 Each military pilot is required to have a certain amount of flight time each month. This counts towards that. If spending a couple of hours - max - checking on what's close to our ADIZ is going to cause grave harm to any aircraft, we shouldn't have that aircraft in our inventory.

@@dukeofmecklenburg-strelitz8030 the f22 is engineered to last over 50 years, they are maintained every day.

I bet it is an intelligence gathering mission for the Russian pilots. I think you're right.

Nobody has ownership , Military is forbidden I believe My apologies I was thinking of Antarctic

Russia use those icebreakers to protect there territory and those territory belongs to Russia before of foundation of USA and Canada

@@TheMadara05 exactly and we should do the same. They can power a city with one nuclear ice breaker in an emergency. I know the USA has done that with an aircraft carrier before too.

Should will always be different than what will

@Anthony Aguilar You can not stop global warming. It is inevitable. The world used to be a massive rock covered in lava, then it froze completely covered in ice, and now we are leaving that ice age. In hundreds of thousands of years the world will once again be a ball of ice, well will have a second Pangaea, and the cycle will go till Earth is no more. Can humans help decrease pollution? Absolutely, but will anything we do stop global warming? Absolutely not. If you think we can, with all due respect, you are mental.

@Anthony Aguilar are u this dumbb omfg!?? Global warming denier. U know that *Google* could easily give you "proof" to whatever answer ur looking for even tho it's just fake and not credible.. how can you deny Global Warming.. and I thought conspiracy theorist were dumb...

And Greenland's icesheet is melting at an alarming rate. This is aggregate data, not the cherry picked stuff to suit your denial.
