Arctic time bomb set for 2020?

[a7xpunisher]

it's funny, we will see a large scale war in our time because of the vast pocket of resources beneath the ice cap. The Russians plant a flag with an R.O.V. and now Canada has spent the about 35 billion dollars to create a new navy. In the newspaper it showed an example of what the ships will be and the caption even said that this is the proposed design for an Arctic war vessel. As well, Canada has spent almost 200 million dollars on roughly 60 brand new F-35 jets... Canada is ready to rock

[MrThewaffen]

maybe insted of wasting everything we got on earth we use all our power and oil to take over and build on planets

[YourWeedSucks]

The Arctic is doing well without apes polluting it, and destroying more habitat.

[superaryanlove]

They should split the area fairly. All the countries in the running deserve some.

[andy7666]

@superaryanlove No fu*k that.. Stick a British flag in the centre and claim the lot - send an army of red coated musketmen and cannon, ought to do the trick.. ;)

You are right, the Arctics resources should be divided as fairly as possible - Russia undoubtedly gets the most due to its immense size but not much more than Canada IMO, plus the other nations - the US should not get any more than it is due. If any non-bordering nation made a claim, that WOULD be a problem.

[dave19941000]

Russia the only one to back up it's claims? This isn't news if they believe that.

[MrFataja]

FUCK RUSSIANS

[cgord31]

They should all agree NOT to drill in the Arctic. It amazes me how smart but at the same time how stupid the human race is. We act like junkies and our drug is oil.

[tibone613]

They should leave the land alone and stop poluting our planet

[R3dTigerM40A3]

by that time,we will get our f-35 fighter jets :)

[smithyboi1000]

sure u will , u cnt protect ur own waters , submarines go out a and in ur countrie l,l u dnt stop them

[smithyboi1000]

why is the usa and denmark in there , they dint hve no boreder with it ,

[defiythelie]

@smithyboi1000 yes they do, alaska.

[walkertexasranger33]

@smithyboi1000 denmark is the protectorate of greenland and iceland

[MrFataja]

@smithyboi1000 what are you talking about

[TheWiseOldLion]

Russian once again attempting to steal what isn't theirs?

hurm

[matthewseelal]

@TheWiseOldLion Again? o_O

And they have a right to the Arctic moreso then the Americans, actually.

[petethehibby]

What rubbish,there is no land at the north pole,only a massive hole .

[HumanityWins]

@Kitjune1996

with your 1 billion g20 army?:P

imo they use haarp to melt the ice, so they get more resources from the land and more money from the people through their various hoaxes.

you should all march to haarp and shut the shit down!

[looneytune3562]

People seem to miss the point, the only reason we are still using oil is because of the greedy mosters that are the oil companies. We shouldn't even be looking for oil anymore, we didn't need to over 50 years ago. sigh*

[pnzzr]

I hate my life.

[shredmaster47]

cool lets rape all this area and our children will really have a fighting chance in the future....i play music and do maintenance work, not to high in the society poll, but shit we gotta figure something else out...

[thenameless86]

they will never learn...

When they come and start Mining and drilling in MY backyard, I start shooting.

And we Inuit know how to hunt.

[Bibazavr]

@thenameless86 Yeah but they came to drill in their backyard. So guess whos gona get shot in the face ? you :D

[hevnervals]

Norway is best at deep offshore drilling. Hope Norway get it, for our environment's sake.

[RFXCGZZ]

rofl, why cuz your norwegian? Russia more off shore rigs, and much longer ones too.

[hevnervals]

Russia has fewer offshore rigs and most of them are shorter.

The Norwegian Troll A Platform is 472 meters and is the tallest structure ever moved.

In 1996 the platform set the Guinness World Record for largest offshore gas platform.

[RFXCGZZ]

Exactly, 1996. The company I work for was contracted to build the world's longest offshore drill a few years ago.

Russia has the biggest offshore oil production in the planet around Sakhalin and the Gulf of Mexico.

Most of the oil in Norway is long gone, that field is only lasting another 9 years.

[sutra00]

stupid idiot people, as the environment is destroyed, as the polar bears drown while the ice melts under their paws, as the canadians kill 300000 seals and skin them alive each year(you said you like canadians?!), the idiot people think only of petrol and to generate more pollution, instead of trying to figure out a clean energy source! how sad! how terrible!

[icantafford]

@sutra00: Skinned alive?

I have a hard time seeing any of us trying to skin somthing while its still alive.

The seal hunt is a cultural tradition. Conservation laws prevent us from hunting from extinction. The hunt acctually controlls the population so the seals dont cause damage to the environment from overpopulation.

The vast majority of the arctic is Canadian. Our territory, our oil.

[dswynne]

I think the Arctic region should be a neutral zone, like in the Antarctic.

[finchiestiffler79]

more reliable than the american estimates on Iraqi WMD's.

[piratakamrata]

Good one :)

[sLiiimy]

WOW sweden is safe then :))

[LordBLB]

I hope Canada gets it...

[drake2919]

They should drill and explore together, then split the profits relative to how much arctic coast each country has. Russia 50%, Canada 30%, Denmark 10%, Americans 5% and Norway 5% ;

[LordBLB]

"They should drill and explore together"

That would be good as well. I just like Canadians. Nice people... =P

[vinnyman999]

Hey man thanks for that ;) ha ha

[PcGamerPaul]

@drake2919 Should be Canada 50% Russia 30% Since its Canadian land

[Russia2010]

@PcGamerPaul

in ur yanks dream dude. russians are already proved the affiliation of arctic.

because lomonosov shelf goes far back to arctic. so have russians more then 60% of arctic, and now u yank can suck the dick. u will never get any shit of arctic.

[rugbystar2009]

@drake2919 canada has total control we have clamed it for YEARS! and now that they reilize that their valuable resources every one wants it its canadas and always will be

[lulzwecare]

@rugbystar2009 sorry canada but denmark wants some too ok its not just for u we want some also and just share it with us ok we need it too u stole hans island now give us oil ok

[natonorway]

@drake2919 hey hey hey norway ona hew 10%

[Gogies777]

@drake2919 50% to russia?what a joke..this matter should be resolve in a peaceful and lawful way.and i believe lawfully its canada's territory and in the end of teh day the law of seas will be on our side which is based on historical accounts and geographical evidences.russia knows which country it really belongs to.canada will not bite on russia's puppy punting BS.

[krbosak]

@drake2919 I think the profits should be shared using the risk of lethal virus discovery taken by world populations. 15% or so for India, for example.

[Arelak]

I hope Russia gets it, gods know it will be the biggest bloodbath of all time if the USA and other corporations decide to go after it.

[manwiththecalicobag]

the greed of israels and its pig the usa , and there Antichrist religious teachings ,,,, :)
