Putin orders Arctic military boost

The race for the potential resources in the Arctic moves up a level.

Quote:

Russian President Vladimir Putin has told his military leadership they should build up their forces in the Arctic as a priority.

Commending the recent restoration of an airfield in the region, he said Russia needed to use every means to protect its national interests in the region.

He was speaking after Canada announced plans to claim the continental shelf under the North Pole.

Russia and Denmark also lay claim to parts of the resource-rich shelf.

Resource control the ultimate game of strategy.

Even squirrels are masters at it.

But why? surely Putin could sieze the whole artic region single handed while not wearing a shirt as long as he had a camera crew following him.

Chuck Norris has already done this. No camera crew required.

This one is obviously doctored but with all those photos of Putin strutting around with his shirt off you have to wonder why they have the anti-gay laws.
