Russian President Putin vowed to 'knock the teeth out' of nations who grab pieces of the state's vast territory
Secretary of State Blinken warned Moscow the North Pole must remain 'free of conflict' at Thursday's summit
His Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov hit back, saying the Kremlim saw 'no grounds' for conflict in the Arctic, but warned the West about militarising on Russia's doorstep and said the country would defend itself
Comes as Russia revealed a massive polar military airbase, Nagurskoye, in the Franz Josef Land archipelago It has been heavily militarised with missiles, a radar system and a runway handling nuclear bombers
It comes amid increasing tensions in the Arctic with global competition for the oil and gas rich area

That said, This seems to be an interesting and uncharacteristic reaction to the relaxation of sanctions for the Russia to Germany Pipeline.
I wonder what the truth is, and why we have a sect of state who is blinken ?
Oil & gas riches?
Ah, who cares. Now if it were solar panels and windmills Democrats would be interested.
From an earlier post, it’s hotter by a factor of 3 than some other place and melting rapidly. No, really. Meanwhile at our place wind chill 23 and snowing on and off next couple of days. 😫
Putin and is pals need a Mujahideen skin peel...
So it’s okay if Russia attacks some country but not for Israel to defend itself? (Putin telling Israel to cut it out attacking Hamas/Gaza).
All of America’s enemies wanted PDJT out of the Oval Office.
We snooze...
We lose...
Puts some ice on it...
President Trump would have replied “and we’ll kick the shit out of you”
President Biden shit his Depends.
It’s only a matter of time before Russia and the US exchange nukes over some trivial thing. All Trump did was to delay this
Has anyone seen this movie? This is about North Pole...
Russia is even close to our largest problem.
That country is not only larger, but has lots of nukes, Subs, missles, a biowarfare program, is expanding its dominance over africa.
Great book - movie not so much.
I bet a lot of world leaders are wishing they could deal with Trump again.
How about GUNS OF NAVARONE? I have seen the movie...I never read the book...
Send in the tranny division to invade Russia haha
These guys are the rankest of amateurs. Blinken is Biden’s long time flunky and has no clue whatsoever any more than Biden does as to international relations.
Trump or Pompeo would never have made such a gratuitous and insulting “warning” to the Russians, especially in public.
Furthermore they would have expected, as would any reasonably perceptive person, that Russia would develop their military assets in their northern reaches. This would have been no surprise and no implied threat if we had people who knew what they were doing.
Just wondering.
This caused Biden to reach into the glass to put them back in his mouth.
Make em to the Thunderdome cage event on Pay-Per-View.
The Angry PedoJoe vs. The Cunning Vlad.
Two go in....only one comes out.
It’s not that. Blinken is out of his league. Both the Russians and the Chinese are bitch slapping us right now. Wouldn’t happen under Trump. Just sayin.
