## Resource

The Arctic is turning into a geopolitical battleground, where melting ice reveals untapped resources and new shipping lanes—and nations are racing to claim them. Russia is aggressively militarizing its Arctic coast, China is partnering with Moscow for economic and military gains, while the U.S. lags behind with just three icebreakers, one barely operational, and a defense system starved of funding and expertise. Once ignored, the Arctic now forces even neutral nations like Finland and Sweden into NATO, as America scrambles to catch up—before it’s too late.
