Russia to claim north pole

See, you don't even care, get off our island

Hahaha, Eastern and Western Canada don't even get the same news. We care about softwood lumber, and apparently they worry about an island.

So it seems they don't want to wait for global warming anymore and just nuke the northern icecap away

wtf is it with this cold war stuff. New rocket shields, dropping of bombs on former ussr countries, restarting their nuclear bomber sorties...

But the planes look quite cool 8)

That's the Bear. Great planes, used to intercept them with F-16s close to our Northern coast during the cold war. These days, we're seeing the planes returning North of us. And they're "practicing" close to Scotland too..

Is anyone allowed to drill there?

[Cobol74]

^ Depends on how big a military you've got, I suppose.

Drill where? In Norwegian waters? Everyone who's got a permission from the Norwegian government and pay taxes can drill outside Norway, tbh.

We've been discussing this over on a Parkour Forum that I belong to, and frankly I think the arctic (well most of it) belongs to Canada as it has for the past 100 years, and the canadian government needs to get their act together and prove their claim over the Arctic.

[zenkidori]

it will end up being USA vs. Russia like always.

Agreed the U.S. gets some tropical island, so we deserve all of the frozen resource rich tundra.

[zenkidori]

we'll end up paying some of your politicians off for the rights to drill up there, or at least joint rights.

canada is america's bitch.

canada is america's bitch.

Unfortunately that is all too true
