Who owns the large white area? Are the islands disputed?
With what we know now Seaward’s Folly was really Russia’s Folly in selling Alaska. Gee, Russia could have had an airport on the Canadian border and not that far from Seattle. Oh the ironies of history and the caprice of the Fates.
Hopefully this is not another war front. I mean, come on Uncle Sam, you got Manhattan for glass beads and Alaska for peanuts. What do you want? The whole world? Let the Russkies have those islands so close to their land mass ten times yours. Don’t be greedy and don’t believe the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming because they are already here. You think they are space people with blue eyes or something?
Why fight over a “little patch of land that hath in it no profit but the name.” On the other hand, maybe there is profit up there in the land of polar bears and the midnight sun.
Russia in the Arctic: That is it? Just beefing up presence on this on little, bitty island somewhere near Greenland? I remain nonplussed at this episode. must seek more information on ( sigh) Wikileaks.
A story is going round today that a TV channel accidentally aired images of Russia’s new secret weapon – what is your view of this? Seems strange that sensitive information would have been allowed to get out so easily:

thanks South Front but did you see the video Saker had up a couple of days ago ? It had bears in it….where were the bears in yours, South Front ?
I’m thinking of applying for a job at the Russian base and taking a few Caucasian Shepherds with me…as they can handle the climate and chase bears…
Here is a video of Caucasian Shepherds to all those folks who like big dogs…and good music – there’s unfortunately no bears in this video

Arctic presence – very impressive.
What type of aircraft can we see at 01:02?
Dear The Saker,
A story is going round today that a TV channel accidentally aired images of Russia’s new secret weapon – what is your view of this? Seems strange that sensitive information would have been allowed to get out so easily:
