Let the Russians have it — we have too many environmental kooks to ever be able to get at the resources anyway.
To: nuconvert
If they can patrol it and develop the resources there, then I don't see why their claim shouldn't be valid.
If they are just going to make a symbolic claim so they can try and get others who develop the resources to pay them money, then the claim should be ignored.
He who invests the resources to secure those resources and develop them should reap the benefits.

I hope there’s video soon, part of me wonders if they’re just making all this up.

so did they open up the hatch while underwater to plant the flag? and did they stick it upside down into the bottom of the ice?

I support ANYONE who will suck that oil out of the ground. Especially in a place as inhospitable as this. The U.S. may learn something from this IF they actually develop this area, more natural resources on the Global Market means better lives for the rest of us. To think all we have to do is go to the Gulf of Mexico, off the shores of Florida, Anwar, seems like a walk in the park.

This is the first boat to carry ANY flag under the North Pole:
It didn't plant it but it carried OUR flag there. The NP is ours.

Well, since the Russians just now reached the North Pole and are the first people ever to go there, isn’t it theirs?
I mean, noone else has ever arrived there before today have they?
Finders keepers and all that?
