#4  The Russians have over 40 icebreaker capable ships. The US has 3. Looks like someone hasn’t been doing their homework

#1  Oh boy, another new war?
How do people not see through this by now?
"We will be far less free as a country" is just blatant lies.
We've gotten along just fine without the Arctic. It's uninhabited for a reason.
This is pure "conquer the world" thinking that the CIA loves.
