#2 Russia has also been moving to stake its claim to resources that are increasingly accessible as global warming melts Arctic ice.
Not proven.
Moscow recently sent an expedition to plant a Russian flag on the seabed under the North Pole and said research indicates a massive underwater mountain range in the area, which is believed to contain huge oil and gas reserves, is part of Russia's continental shelf.
Proven to be a fake.

Russia knows that wid the very real Radical Islamist threat within and along its peripheries + Regional-Global Econ competition from established Nuclear, proto-Nuclear Asian States, for time being it needs the USA to protect it as much to geopol compete against.
