... all while counterbalancing the aspirations of the United States and NATO. Western journalists regularly accuse Russia of militarizing the Arctic. In reality, Russia’s only real military presence here is in Arkhangelsk and Murmansk. These ports are Russia’s only access point to the world’s ocean. Strategically, there are no other viable options. Developing the Arctic economically through new shipping routes or oil and gas projects is made all the more difficult by the harsh climate, the poor existing infrastructure and the Arctic’s vast expanses.

... Yemen. It is the modern “Cold War” of the Middle-East. One of the reasons Saudi Arabia did not join the Astana initiative is that Iran is a founder. The Saudis does not fear a Russian influence in Syria, but they rather fear an Iranian one. Plus, Russians and Saudis have a lot to discuss and cooperate such as Oil and Gas markets, they have to deal openly at some point.

... Nonetheless, American shale oil does not compete on the Russian or Saudi oil markets. It is more likely that the US, in this respect, will find a competitor in Asia. V. Katona’s other important argument is that gas is in long-run more promising than oil for Russia. Over the years, there has been a steady increase in gas reserves in Russia.

... projects Oil-and-gas cooperation is also possible in the form of investments and technology exchange. Yet this format does not fit the bill in our case. Saudi Arabia and Russia have similar problems and seek similar solutions: the two countries both need oil dollars, investments and new technology. Russia is in no position to offer any advanced oil- and gas-extraction solutions that would interest Saudi Arabia (such as shale oil development technology ).
