A joint expedition by the US and Canada is off to explore the resource-rich Arctic region near Alaska.
a very nice interview, nice to see a de-politiced speaker, speaking about the facts. There is a use it or lose it aspect to border demarcation, there are the UN laws of the sea. Every body needs to do their part, if they want to secure their rights. This isn't itself the problem, the problem will come, if the bulk of resources are all legally Russian. Then you will see the US war efforts kicking in, to try to have another oil war like in Iraq. This is what Russia needs guard against, they need guard against the US going on another illegal oil crusade against us. This means a very secure and robust defence, that makes the gain not worth the pain for the US. This means that part of current oil revenues, must be used to secure future ones, safeguarding against the US oil thief.
