Арктика-2007

[crocodile]

ну тут новая тема у НАТО и Shell & BP - по тематике "энергетическая безопасность" сотрудничать.
У Шелла кишка уже тонка - все-таки танков нету, вертолетов мало.
А НАТО вполне может обеспечить надежное прикрытие.
Ато все стоят на ушах с тех пор как из Венесуэлы, Боливии поперли Эксон, Шеллу пришлось в Нигерии намного больше платить откупных. В России тоже халява потихоньку уменьшается.
Идея слития в экстазе корпораций и оставшихся без дела (а значит в перспективе и без денег) вояк сейчас вполне устоялась.
Так что не бурить надо - это еще успеется.
Нужно базы военные строить и укреплять военный потенциал. Тогда будет где нефть добывать.

Тут ведь вот какое дело получается...

Why Operate In the Arctic in 2015-2020?
The Strategy & Policy Group’s process to achieve its charter used the Air,
Surface, and Subsurface Group outputs on platform missions, challenges, capabilities,
and shortfalls as a starting point for further discussion. The group had some concerns
that these “platform-focused” groups had not ventured far enough “out of the box” in
their consideration of potential missions in the Arctic, specifically in their prioritization
of those missions. The group spent a considerable amount of time discussing
“traditional” warfare areas versus more non-traditional areas of naval operations that they
expected to occur in the Arctic. To better focus their discussion, they decided to identify
their own reasons for why U.S. forces might operate in an ice-free Arctic and to use that
information to develop their own list of prioritized potential naval missions for the Arctic
in 2015-2020.
The group ultimately determined that there was only one overriding reason for
increased operations in the Arctic in 2015-2020: increased access. Today, most of the
Arctic is inaccessible for all or most of the year because of the ice coverage. As the
icecap recedes and more of the Arctic becomes ice-free for a longer period each year,
more and more vessels (and aircraft) from many nations will operate in the region. This
increased accessibility to a variety of vessels will in turn require increased naval
operations in the region for one of three purposes:
• Increased Economic Activity with increased associated environmental protection
activities. This includes both access to the region to exploit the natural resources
available and access through the region to save transit time.
• Increased Need for Law Enforcement of both domestic laws and international
treaty obligations (e.g., United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea
(UNCLOS), counter-drug operations, and migrant smuggling). Military forces
will have unique capabilities, at least in the short term, to support civilian law
enforcement authorities.
• Increased Security Needs resulting from the opportunities of potential adversaries
to exploit the waters of the Arctic in ways that are counter to our national security.
