No, not anytime soon in our foresseable future. Russkavitch still pissed from 1969 that Yankees put a flag up on moon is what it is perhaps. All this is PR moves by Putin along with bomber flights, war games with China.... i would be careful with chinkoman, he is eyeing Siberia and far east and is probing you for weaknesses. Putin can't afford any scewups leading to elections next march. But as for the Arctic, 90% is canadian.

I still stand firm in my belief that the North Pole should remain a sovereign state. After the Germans lost in the first World War, it's been the object of much controversy, but I still believe that the people of the North Pole are strong and morally righteous and deserve to remain a sovereign state. I can assure you I believed this before they sent troops to Iraq and no matter their future decisions I will always feel this way on this issue.
