Real question: Why the concern about Arctic naval combat? what’s up there worth fighting extreme ice & cold just to get to fighting people? Northern Canada & Russia don’t seem places many people are interested in conquering. Arm up to protect the frontier just because it’s there? or because there is something there worth protecting?

All of you answered "oil".

But you missed the real value of the region:

99.99% of the worlds ice-cubes are RIGHT THERE.

Mixed drinks will quadruple in price if Russia takes the region.

Man, you’re right! How could I have missed that?

I guess I’d just have to drink my Blanton’s, Four Roses or Basil Hayden’s neat...
