 The worst case in a Russian scenario is that Putin is as bad as we think he is. In other words, if Putin truly has decided to take Russia into a militarily aggressive stance to return to a bad old Soviet Union-style form of governance, ultimately that means all the efforts to have cooperation, the Arctic Council, the one-on-one negotiations that have been so painstakingly developed over the years will be for naught. The best case scenario is that our fears about Putin are wrong, that in fact that there are reasons that can be explained for the use of military force in the Ukraine and Georgia that do not ultimately demonstrate that he in fact is an aggressor state, that he is responding for perfectly understandable reasons that we may not fully appreciate in the West today and that ultimately we are able to reach some form of understanding with a Russia that is online with the type of normative, that is the democratic human rights orientation that we have always hoped Russia would develop into. To a certain degree, it's a bit of a Western conceit to think that we have that much of a say over the matter. If the Putin administration is in fact preparing to be further aggressive and the main places would be either in the Baltics or in Moldavia, the best thing that we can actually do is prepare, improve our military capabilities so that once again we are reduced to deterring further Russian expansion. If on the other hand Putin is not an aggressor leader, in fact that Russia is not falling into old bad habits, the most important thing that we can do is extend every possibility for cooperation. Well, everything ultimately makes a difference. In the context if you can get the right people and have an open enough discussion, knowledge is always the first requirement for good policy. And so anything that facilitates our ability to understand the environment around us in regards to the policy positions in the Arctic is going to of course allow us to make better policy decisions. So the level of discussion leads me very confident that this is exactly the type of event that is necessary for that.
