It's the joint nature of the exercises off Alaska that are unusual, the U.S. senator says. In response, the Army sent soldiers to Shemya.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski has a theory about why Russian President Vladimir Putin has been conducting joint military exercises in the Arctic with China.
Murkowski spoke after attending a secure briefing at the Senate Tuesday with the head of the U.S. Northern Command. Putin is strengthening his alliances with China, North Korea and Iran as a power move, to counter the West, Murkowski said, adding that it’s the joint nature of the Arctic exercise that’s unusual.
The U.S. needs to demonstrate the strength of its own alliances with joint military exercises and to stick by its allies so that Ukraine prevails against Russia, she said.
