Not to be cruel, but Russia doesn’t seem to have a very good track record when it comes to submarines. Remember the Kursk?

Not to worry. Green Peace will stop them.
They might as well claim it. We’ll never use it. Who wants all that nasty oil anyway? Lord knows we don’t need it.

Russia wants to claim the oil that is there now that the ice seems to be melting. They already have so much oil. They never stop. They can’t have the Arctic Circle; it is international.

America discovered the North Pole. Bush will probably give it to China or Mexicans.

That’s what I was thinking. Instead of a sub capable of planting tiny Russian flags, why don’t they invent a sub that can scoop radioactive remains of existing Russian subs lying on sea bottoms around the world?

I can see Canada getting into a twist over this.

Most of their cold war subs are little more than scrap, now. Also, for years, the USSR would just dump nuclear cores in the Artic Ocean rather than dispose of them properly.

I didn’t know that. Was the Kursk a Cold War sub?

Remember the Kursk? That's probably why they are shooting for the sea floor. They have lots of experience leaving things there...
In fact, I hear there are lots of Russian flags littering seabeds in most oceans...

Probably. They have built very few warships since 1990.
