credentials as somebody who is standing up to u.s. military power in afghanistan. and to basically make it more likely that he would be an acceptable partner in future negotiations. i don't think the united states is going to agree to the demands that he would need to put forward that he has put forward as the price of such a deal and that's why i think this does represent a a real crisis in u.s. relations with the karzai government at this point amounting to civilian casualties from the u.s. military operations as one of the key reasons why u.s. afghan security pacts are on shaky ground washington's power draft pushes for thousands of its troops to remain in afghanistan after their combat mission ends later this year although they're all supporters to is supposed to support local forces the u.s. still wants its troops to be carry out attacks and

extent is dependent on the arctic and i think you know russia and canada the united states and norway. and then mark are very interested in exploiting these resources last month canada abruptly claims that it owned the north pole while the united states with its alaskan outpost has plans to boost its military there claiming it lacks operational experience and needs to police the thinning ice as it's replaced by fuel filled maritime traffic but that's not all. actually u.s. submarines are deployed not too far away off the norwegian coast but it would take us missiles sixteen to seventeen minutes to get from there it's a must go so we really hope that with all the things that have been happening in the world over the past few decades we have put the code will confrontation behind us in all five countries bordering the arctic sovereignty rights to resources

a number of other interested countries such as india china korea japan all getting very interested not just in the northern sea route but also in the resources that exist there in the arctic already the chinese are operating in greenland and places like that and i think there will be a scramble by some of the other countries for some of those resources when the ice does recede to you're not just going to hardly nor can see reach across the top of russia in the northwest passage across canada you're also going to have a route around twenty fifty straight across the top of the north slope. no that means that there are countries that in the past that faced each other across the north pole but only see waste they can have open water for quite a few months of the year and that will introduce different perspectives different geometries you're going to see canada and you know the states also venturing into the arctic so it's going to be an interesting situation point of view probably
