Will Arctic ice melt spark cold war?-France 24 EN

[killerdudez1]

wth does france have to do with this? this has to do with canada, russia , and america

[theroilsoil]

One again, the pigs fighting for a bigger piece of the trough.

Doesn't matter - mother nature has it's own agenda - and it doesn't include man.

[Forkboy193]

Norway is not a part of the EU so gtfo! Russia and Norway solved the border conflict without the help of the EU.

[Oyanor]

Norway should have Denmarks part too, Denmark stole Greenland when Norway didnt want to be in union.

[Moonseker]

If Global Warming continues, Canada will also become the worlds largest Agriculturale country in the world. Russia will probly not fall far from the tree ether. War is a human thing, it will always be. It is but one of the things that makes us like the animals. Like animals, we fight over territory, resources, survival.

[CrackerJackLee]

europe is like an old whore. she is depleted and defunct. USA is like an old lecher controlled by an inbred ethnic cabal. canada and russia are young, cold, arctic countries. nationalistic northerners who own vast natural resources.

[CrackerJackLee]

the euros will have to trade for that. trade their wine and sunny resorts, fruits and vegetables and become service oriented to keep their living standards. things have changed. now, russia runs europe. canada will become the world's most important nation if and only if it becomes nuclear

[Northernsharpshooter]

@CrackerJackLee yes well Canada indeed has the ability to become a nuclear power my guess is if you gave them 150 days, however what holds Canada back from becoming a superpower or even a nuclear power is hard since Canada does not have a big population

[akropiss]

@Northernsharpshooter yes, that is true, 70% of our population is centred between the sagueney and sundbury, luckily though we still have our red-coats; yes the british mechanised units are based in the prairies for Canadian defence, and because the prairies allow them to operate on a near infinite amount of training grounds "BATUS" it is called. 3 things Canada is not short of, are resources, uranium, and patriots willing to fight against ridiculous odds (1775, 1812)

[Northernsharpshooter]

@akropiss yes you are right our country may not have a "big army" but when it is needed we have been known to get a striking increase in our army before we go off to war, however our governmnet tends to get rid of the military after the war but thats beside the point. thanks for informing me about "BATUS" I am starting to get into histroy because it is simply amazing and never knew BATUS exsisted I will have to do more research on it, thank you

[akropiss]

@Northernsharpshooter yeah man, besides we are a Commonwealth Realm, if we get attacked, the UK, NZ, Australia and others have a Commonwealth obligation (as we do if they were in trouble) but yes we are a highly industrialised nation with a ridiculous amount of resources and by modern and historic standards we have always had the most efficient military, essentially, a private can replace his lieutenant, or radio operator if it ever comes to that.

[Oyanor]

haha Russia is an very old country. US and Canada are young.

[CrackerJackLee]

where would you rather live? in Canada or Russia? being old does not make you smart!

[Oyanor]

Where have I wrote that it makes you smart? I just corrected you. If I had to choose between Canada an Russia, I would choose Canada.

[CrackerJackLee]

he raised a good point about population. canada and russia have small populations and all of the natural resources while the rest of the world have huge populations and no resources. canada will now have to become a nuclear country as a duty to it's children and future canadians to protect what is ours. you cannot claim the arctic if you are weak. the world will run over you.

[CrackerJackLee]

europe has no borders on the arctic! norway and denmark are independent countries. the five artic nations will not share their wealth with europe. europe is depleted and greedy. europe can't force us like they did to africa and asia in colonial times! LOL! this time europe gets to watch! LOL! the audacity of these europoliticians to threaten us with their paperwork! why doesn't europe just go back and start another world war and be done with it. no one cares, really.

[CrackerJackLee]

as this heats up, we may see countries pull out of the UN and EU. LOL! just because norway and denmark have a claim, does not mean that england, france, italy, germany or albania do! the 5Arctics should carve it up and the rest of the world can pay for the oil as we get it. watch europe try to block at the UN. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

[naevan1]

@CrackerJackLee You said that comment 2 times.

Okay we khow that you are a Europe hater,good job but you dont have to support your ideas so firmly.

In my opinion the USA are the bad guys (Not that Europe is not either but still the main villain of this plot is the USA if you asked me.I bet they have already raised military activity in the Arctic.)

[qwarq]

A better idea would be to leave at try to prevent or slowing the rate at which the poles melt...then look for free energy means on all ways of life.

other than that a seasonal frozen highway from Canada to Russia so we can trade hockey sticks and hot Russian women

beer , vodka....thats better than digging it up for Oil which just turns out War and Greed

[Vigatus]

I agree Canada and Russia should co-oerate in the Artic.

[CrackerJackLee]

@Vigatus

russians don't co-operate with anyone...

[CrackerJackLee]

@qwarq

you cannot control the sun... and beer doesn't keep you warm.. alcohol will kill you in winter... any northerner knows that...

[ghtyu354]

If there going to want to take the resources in the artic then theyll need to invade Canada as its our territrory....i see Russia vs Canada war might be sparking and we all know if Canada enters a war there another country not far behind....

my idea is just give it to greenland since there the closest. (i have simple logic)

[topdog53k]

9 million world population he is a dumb ass....

[nestorrfortuna]

billions he said

[hara001]

no, he said 9 milion

[Reapxxx]

dumb shits its canada try and take it and we will fuck u up

[hara001]

We need to build nukes to be taken seriously. Until we do, we are just a joke.

[72Canadian72]

Well only the uneducated dont take us seriously. Allied militaries know the strength of our military. But dont worry we got the tech and supplies to build nukes if we ever need them. The reason we dont already got them is cause we wouldnt be seen as peaceful with them :)

[crusher1995]

you need to do some research

canada does not have nulkkes merely because of a no nuke policy the government passed a while back

[72Canadian72]

I never said we currently had nuclear weaponry, i was saying we have the capabilities to create effective nukes if the need ever arises. And the reasons we enlisted in the nuclear weaponry policy is because we are peaceful and are trying to disarm the world of all types of WMDs. (Thats why we are in every international organization that disarms the world of such dangerous weaponry wether its nuclear, biochemical ect

[GONAVY76]

My money is on Denmark! Go in, kick ass and get out with all the oil!!!

[crusher1995]

ahahah denmark :P

[WolYou]

Good proof on how deluded business is. While we don't know how to get rid of fossil CO2 the corporations have nothing better to do than dig out more of that dangerous stuff to keep the crappy wasting-system going. Probably humans are in fact a race of slaves to terraform the earth for an alien race. We are destroying our own spaceship and we like it! Its hard to find another reason for this behavior.

[masterbeef00]

Norway should go guns blasing for the Arctic

[1988scottcarey]

if theres a war it'll be all navy boats and submarines hopefully not cause i'm from canada

[hevnervals]

Norway is the only one with the necessary technology to drill in so deep water.

[PumaPumaPride]

No one has it yet

[hevnervals]

Of course Norway got the technology, its not much deeper than the Norwegian sea.

[PumaPumaPride]

proof?

[hevnervals]

google it.

[PumaPumaPride]

I can't find anything

[justcat1234]

You people are sick. THERE IS TECHNOLOGY RIGHT NOW AND HAS BEEN FOR DECADES THAT IS CLEAN ENERGY. Look up free energy and see what you find. The stupid government is only thinking about best profits why everyone is fighting over these energy sources.

[RetrieveGuns]

The ice is still there, don't drink the Kool-Aid. The arctic is melting and is smaller than in past years but still average. The Antarctica is growing and many other ice glaciers in the southern hemisphere. Plate tectonics? earths axis shift during the tsunami? or just your stupefied? The earth .7 of a degree warming got taken away this year. Baghdad got snow for first time in history....global cooling? you young kids are wacky gay and stupid wait til they make you fuck animals, soon.

[CrackerJackLee]

@RetrieveGuns

yep... they've already started with fucking the dog...

[JohnDeBunkTest]

The Big political question

Will the world develop new renewable clean environmentally friendly energy sources, or go to war and fight over the last bit of fossil fuel while destroying the environment?

So far, the politicians seem far too willing to fight, and not very willing to look forward.

[RetrieveGuns]

I say they will get the oil. one day your fossils will be oil.

[DocGreen15]

BULL SHIT! scaremongering

[NicNasty1981]

europe needs these resourses far more than the americas and russia. britton france and italy are building up their navy and i dont know who else, but i would be all for europe sailing a few battle ships/aircraft carriers and taking it.

[RetrieveGuns]

come and try, we will destroy you.

[NicNasty1981]

First off, im talking about the bit directly around europe from greenland to scandinavia and the Franz Josef Land archipelago, this report is about russia trying to take control of the arctic you dick! youre american, and besides the 1 billion people of europe have a far bigger army and navy than the US but thats not what im talking about. Im just talking about not getting bullied by russia who has a stangle hold on europes energy supplies! Dick! typical american thinks its all about you!

[MuslimApostate]

1 billion my ass. Try 500 million at the most. Don't forget that not every european country will be with you in the event of a war as not every country is in the EU.
