Here are some things that happened there in the last year or two. Remember I lived in Alaska and used to return frequently to report on stories concerning climate change and indigenous rights, so I have a more than passing interest in the region. 2020:

That's just a smattering of the stuff that made national news. I believe it's connected to climate change. Meanwhile, I first heard this steaming pile of theory from the Kremlin delegate to the Arctic Council about a decade ago

Russia now chairs the Arctic Council btw arctic-council.org/about/russian-…
Anyway it sucks. Alaska deserves so much better than this.
