“On its first operational patrol, Storis did much more than just get underway, it began closing the most alarming gap in U.S. Arctic operations: persistent, ice-capable maritime surface presence,” says @arctictroy.bsky.social gcaptain.com/newest-u-s-i...

Happy Monday! #USCanada advice from Christopher Sands is always high on our list!

Fridays are an excellent time to relisten to Iris Ferguson discuss Arctic security, including Russian and Chinese interests, and the US imperative to bolster homeland defense, domain awareness, and alliances from Greenland to Alaska.

@marclanteigne.bsky.social said: “The attention of the Trump government has shifted to other parts of the world. But I do not think that Greenland is completely off Washington’s agenda right now. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

"We need to think differently about how we cooperate north in the Nordic region, but also circumpolar, to be safer," said MFA State Secretary @mariavar.bsky.social in connection with the launch of a new Norwegian #Arcticstrategy. A strategy with a serious security policy backdrop. #Arctic #Norway
