The rearmament race in the US begins anew after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which calls into question the architecture of world security. As he prepared to fight the Kremlin in the Arctic as well, Joe Biden presented Congress with a $5,800 billion budget proposal for 2023 with a “minimum tax” on bums and record security investments, starting with the already astronomical military spending: 813 $.3 billion, up $31 billion (4%) from a year earlier. The funds include $4.1 billion to conduct research and development of defense capabilities, nearly $5 billion for a missile warning system to detect global threats, and nearly $2 billion for a new missile shield to protect the US from the Ballistic launch threat Korea and Iran.

“Korea scenario”, Putin’s new strategy in Ukraine: what it means (and what consequences it could have)
The signal to the allies
In addition to a billion in aid for Ukraine, 6.9 billion dollars are also expected for NATO. A signal to the transatlantic allies who, following the Russian attack, have pledged to reach 2% of GDP for military spending, including the initially most reluctant countries like Germany and Italy. “I am proposing declared the CommanderinChief one of the largest investments in the history of our national security, with the resources necessary to ensure that our army remains the best prepared, trained and equipped in the world. In addition, I ask for continued investment to respond vigorously to Putin’s aggression against Ukraine with US support for that country’s economy, military and humanitarian needs. At the same time, as reported by the New York Times, the White House has decided to take a more aggressive stance in the Arctic, even militarily, to curb Russian expansionism in that region, where ice melt caused by climate change promises to open up new trade routes and to hatch vast reserves of hydrocarbons beneath the sea floor.

The Alaskan Mission
There was a mission for that in March, the first of its kind, with about 8,000 troops dropped near Fairbanks, Alaska, where the administration is also investing hundreds of millions of dollars to expand the Port of Nome, located in could transform a deep water hub in support of Coast Guards and military vessels operating in the Arctic Circle. Again, three icebreakers are expected shortly, but on this front Moscow has a miserable advantage with over 50 icebreakers in action. After all, the Kremlin long ago began militarizing the Arctic, renovating Sovietera airports and radars, building new ports, bases and research centers, and bolstering its fleet of nuclear and conventionalpowered icebreakers. Now, however, after being “distracted” by two decades of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US wants to “regain supremacy in the Arctic,” according to the new Pentagon plan, which has already begun to deploy dozens of F35s relocate to Alaska.
Abramovich, what is his role in mediation and why is it important in peace talks?
However, Biden is not forgetting the home front and looking ahead to Midterm, her financial plan also proposes heavy investments in welfare and the police to respond to the problems people feel most: the bite of inflation and the rise in crime. To fund social spending and reduce the deficit by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years the president is raising the “minimum tax” on bums (families worth over $100 million must pay at least 20% of unrealized income). Income pay property income), raising individual taxes (from 37% to 39.6%) and corporate income taxes from 21% to 28% for the wealthiest, reversing Trump’s tax cut.
