If my faulty publix scrooling serves me, I think this is why we took Alaska...sad we let the gov tell us we could not have those riches.
Good, the U.S. needs a dependable source of ice.

With Zero in charge, we’ll be fortunate to hold on to Alaska.
Years ago I read that Gorbachev actuall offered to sell Siberia to the US for cash & other assets. They don’t have the technology to utilize the vast resources there. I say welcome to our 51st State!
