Russia is expanding its military bases in the Arctic and testing its newest weapons, causing concern to security experts. "Russia is developing a series of weapons that are very concerning from the standpoint of the United States," says Vice Adm. Robert B. Murrett (Ret.), professor of practice of public administration and international affairs. "The Arctic is actually smaller and just a terrific shortcut whether you're in an aircraft, whether you're underneath the surface of the ocean, and also for intercontinental ballistic missiles, this goes back to the Cold War," he says. Murrett was interviewed for the Fox News segment, "Experts worry Russia is seeking a 'new Cold War'."
