254. Jerry Hendrix - Russia's Maritime Piracy - How will Moscow's Long-term Ambitions Play out in Arctic.

GUEST: Henry J. Hendrix - Retired US Navy captain, defence analyst, historian and curator. ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- INTRO: Russia has apparently routed thin-hulled oil tankers through Arctic for first time. But the use of unreinforced vessels raises risks of environmental disaster. Is Moscow taking greater risks in its desperation to divert sanctions-hit exports. The arctic region has previously been explored and governed by international cooperation and treaties. As Moscow behaves in a way that is ever more at variance to international rule of law, how might its long-term ambitions play out in the Arctic? #jerryhendrix #seadrones #blackseafleet #moskva #ukraine #ukrainewar #russia #zelensky #putin #propaganda #war #disinformation #hybridwarfare #foreignpolicy #communism #sovietunion #ussr ---------- SPEAKER: Henry J.
