Just fuel available for Russian armed forces. Nothing else. They just sand-papered the rust of the planes and ships and changed the oil and lubricated the moving parts and went for a ride.
Fortunately this time, no explosion and no lost crew as they did before. Forget geo-political. This is not relevant at all. No consequences flowing form those actions.

The Canadian military can defend the north if it gets the funding. They've been wanting a fleet of nuclear subs for the task, and I suppose a squadron of snowmobiles is a start.

Here's my favorite tune of the high Arctic...

Lord Franklin



midi: ingeb.org

We were homeward bound one night on the deep
Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep
I dreamed a dream and I thought it true
Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew

With 100 seamen he sailed away
To the frozen ocean in the month of May
To seek a passage around the pole
Where we poor sailors do sometimes go.

Through cruel hardships they vainly strove
Their ships on mountains of ice was drove
Only the Eskimo with his skin canoe
Was the only one that ever came through

In Baffin's Bay where the whale fish blow
The fate of Franklin no man may know
The fate of Franklin no tongue can tell
Lord Franklin among his seamen do dwell

And now my burden it gives me pain
For my Lord Franklin I'd sail the main
Ten thousand pounds I would freely give
To know Lord Franklin, and where he lives.
