You are unreasonably paranoid. This is about turning a profit by exploiting a resource, not ending sovereignty.

“You are unreasonably paranoid. This is about turning a profit by exploiting a resource, not ending sovereignty.”

Sure, from Statoil/Norway’s perspective.

But the report said they purchased the land in order to drill for oil/natgas.

But aside from that, you wouldn’t find it alarming to find out our state or federal gov’t allowed the sale of our land to a foreign government? Regardless of the alleged reason for the purpose of the sale?

It’s a moot point now because it looks like it didn’t happen this way, but the implications of a foreign government, whether friendly or not, gaining ownership of our land go far beyond simple economics.

I don’t think that would be an irrational fear.
