Money Hungry Resource Barrens are more interested in breaking the ice up; accelerating the melt down; sucking the North of all it's worth.. No interest or $$ in Freezing it ..Both have dangerous consequences..1 is reality... Clear the Way for the New Seaway Tankers ....Man Made..Global Warming.
You mean Russian resource Oligarchs... you know... guys rushed with economic power masterbating over reports of Arctic icecap meltdown not seen since the days of Rockefeller seeing how much undrilled oil was in America.
You're not facing the Soviet Union over control of northern resources.
You're facing a bunch of Russian Bears. Big giant fat capitalist Russian Bears.
They have just *barely* enough historical action (Soviet submarine/icebreaker action) to claim the Arctic ocean before the UN... such it will be the argument presented by Russian Oligarchs before the world court. All they're doing is showing a reason to use force without anyone else getting involved, which means, ironically, a reason for others to wipe their brows staying out of it.
BUT... what always gets anyone is sneaker subs. Hold onto the northern archiapeligo with good sneaker subs.
Canada has a tonne of people wishing for a great job building best stuff like that. Canadians take it for granted that what they build is best. It tends to be part of the job description.
Not to be much of a tool about this, but... seriously... as a soviergn nation one doesn't have to roll its eyes while a giant Harvard athlete-scholarship roommate crawls under your covers thinking he's doing you a favor to hug warmly while stroking your ****...
