The fight for the artic

Post by fourpawsonthefloor »

The latest developments.

Am I the only one that finds it beyond ironic that all of these countries are fighting for the artic for more oil?? And the reason they can is cause of global warming?? (points to the oil)

Like. Damn.

Meh, it's just one big piss competition, with Russia starting it bc they want to feel big again :shifty
Yeah, I don't know how it's perceived outside of Europe, but we have some Eastern European countries, including Russia, which want to be big shots and cause lots of trouble over here. It's annoying at best, stupid at worst (examples: Polish journal printing an issue with chancelor Merkel as Hitler on it, Russian government beating down a gay demonstration and then saying that they started it, etc...)

Yes, the stuff is valuable, but the arctic belongs to no one, including the nations who claim to have a right bc they hang out there the most. Still: Claiming oil=political, planting a flag on the ground of the sea=piss contest.
:freak :andreas They're fighting!
