Well, Ok, give him some white hair and beard, then squint reeeeally hard….Who do you have?
That tricky Vladimir Putin, that’s who!
Surprise!
Since 2007-ish, Putin has been on a quest for it all. The mineral rights. The oil rights. And all that natural gas.
He may be able to do so, and do it legally to boot!
With a little bit of help from the United Nations. International Laws, fine-tuned in 1982.
Oh stop!
The US, Canada, Norway, Denmark, et.al. border the North Pole!
(He cannot do that! Can he?)
Yes.
If Russia can prove an eensie, teeny, tiny little bit in his favor concerning a scientific challenge concerning the continental shelf, we may have a winner!
Next tricky question: Are those $$$$points listed above the biggest reason the Russian Bear wants the North Pole?
(say no)
He wants to re-establish Russian military bases in such key and integral parts of the North Pole, that it all but guarantees Russia’s dominance in any kind of warfare. Against anyone.
The future will be determined in the International Courts of the United Nations, in 2016.
Did anyone catch this latest maneuver in the last couple of weeks?

So while the rhetoric from the future political leader contenders spins, next to the Syrian War and on to banning religions from entering the US, has anyone paid attention elsewhere?
What’s your take?
