Hummm....Since Canada, Mexico, Central and South America is connected to the US I guess that means we can claim them?

The Cold War was definitely more fun than the current WOT, but as great as it was, we can’t do that and the WOT, too. I guess that’s why Putin feels like no one will do anything about any of these types of actions or speeches.

The claim is likely to provoke an outcry from green groups but there is also Russian opposition.

I don't think Putin cares

Wasn't this guy supposed to be term limited?

Someone in Russia may need to see to it.

The 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty should be repealed immediately.

Don’t those periscopes or antennas or smokestacks or whatever they are get damaged coming up through all that ice? (Please excuse my ignorance).

Nope...the antenna and others are all retracted inside that very strong sail when breaking through. This pic is at the North Pole and it was, as I undertsand, 4 ft of ice the sub broke through.
