When you say Artic do you mean Baltic.........I wonder

This must be to counter the NATO build up of troops in the Baltic states........which was to counter the build up of Russian troops in the Ukraine...............which was to counter the build up of Westward moving forces into the Ukraine and ongoing since the early 90's

So we have move and counter move like peices being moved on a chess board.

All unecessary and all a bit worrying as what will happen after all the pieces are in place ?

Do not get Cheeky

[It has also emerged that Mr Putin was "ready" to
place Russia's nuclear forces on alert as he
sought to annex the Crimean peninsula last year.]
