Why is Russia building nuclear bases in the ice? Why does China want to call itself a "Near-Arctic" state? And was Donald Trump actually right about buying Greenland?
The ice is melting, and the race for the top of the world has begun.
For centuries, the Arctic was a frozen wasteland. Today, it is the most valuable real estate on Earth. Hidden beneath the ice are trillions of dollars in oil, gas, and rare earth minerals—the fuel for the next century of human technology. But more importantly, the melting ice is opening the "Northern Sea Route," a new global shipping highway that cuts the distance between China and Europe by 40%, threatening to make the Suez Canal obsolete.
In this episode of Borderlines, we dive deep into the silent geopolitical war heating up in the freezing cold. We investigate Russia’s massive military buildup, China’s "Polar Silk Road" strategy, and the urgent reasons why the US and NATO are scrambling to secure the GIUK gap before it's too late.
If one country controls the Arctic, do they control the future?
