Canada rattling the saber in the Arctic
In August 2011 Canada is going to hold military exercise in the Arctic around Baffin and Ellesmere – the operation Nanook will be the biggest one in the modern history. Over a 1000 Canadian soldiers, a number of jetfighters and war vessels will take part in the operation to establish Canada’s permanent Arctic presence. I believe it’s too many for a military exercise. It looks like more a provocation and war preparation. Why it is so necessary to send so many troops and vehicles there if it always easier, cheaper and safer to sit down the table and start negotiations between all Arctic claimants? But no, Canada wants to show its military potential and endanger the peaceful and clean Arctic. What a greedy and reckless behavior. Maybe everyone should send there troops and start a new world war thanking Canada?
