U.S #Arctic fun: 1. Issues outlined miss prob only disagreement bw A5 states - 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 maritime challenge 2. technically it’s a process of ‘remilitarisation’ on account of the Cold War 3. lumping 🇨🇳 🇷🇺 into same axis in Arctic is problematic - geography/history makes one legitimate 
4. 🇺🇸 is extremely active & engaged in Arctic gov structures & WGs - not sure how a consulate here will bolster any real power. “Facility” 👀 this expensive office block will work to interrupt sig advances 🇨🇳 has made into 🇬🇱 economy, gov/industry & precious minerals sectors.
expect 🇬🇱 to be tabled with a pick your side decision wrt any further 🇨🇳 investment. 🇷🇺 will envy the geostragtic position a 🇺🇸 outpost in 🇬🇱 affords. no doubt seige mentality/ encirclement fears will be fanned in Moscow.
or maybe it will just be a flash new building staffed with folks who wanted to heck out of DC & within a few weeks they’ll all recognise the Arctic is really a zone of low tension.
