It’s God’s will Russia is gifted with abundance of Natural Resource. Probably this is why Russia is having some envying western politicians, who are scared to death to see the emergence of ever stronger Russia, but this is inevitable. They would better befriend Russia. Best of all

Russia has been around for a long time as a global superpower, and this historical fact makes the certainty of territory/ies clear. US, an experiment for the so-called Anglo-Saxon extension of empire in the past couple of centuries to be sure. A conquered country and those who suffered continue to suffer until this day - "Native Americans." The military-industrial complex of the Anglo-Saxon Tribe needs all the resources of earth to continue ITS' full spectrum domination, but of course the Arctic is being 'explored' for the new strategy. Addictions are difficult to kick and the A-S Tribe has FINALLY come to meet its Waterloo in the icy cold hard fact of Arctic goodies belonging to Russia. There really is a GOD.

This is an attempt to discount any claims by Canada, and the US has no authority to make claims where it has no possibility to make it's own. American Pigs attempting to control another countries future is typical of it's global acts of oppression.

If the country manages to prove that the sea bottom of the continental shelf is actuallypart of the continent, its territory can be expanded by 350 nautical miles, is the legal basis that the resources belong to Russia. The second argument is practical: Russiais also the only nation with an armada of nuclear ice breakers. Do we need further proof, who is the owner of Arctic resources?
