U.S. In Ice Breaker Race With Russia To Control The North Pole

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains how Russia’s dominance in the Arctic is pressuring the U.S. to develop its own fleet of icebreakers. With over half of the Arctic bordering Russia and a growing network of military and shipping routes, the U.S. is eyeing the strategic value of Arctic navigation. McIntyre points out that a Canadian company’s interest in building icebreakers in Texas signals a shift toward U.S. Arctic ambitions in global trade and geopolitics.
