America is also involved in the resource 'grab' in the arctic circle, north from Alaska. It is not isolated to three countries.
It is resource grabbing like this (including whaling by japan in the southern hemisphere), that fuels the desire of those that live here, in the south, to have all nothern hemispherical countries leave the southern seas... Permanently. It sets a dangerous precedent for Antarctica. The only answer is for a southern grouping of nations to do the same, involving claiming all seas south of them to the pole. Maybe this 'dangerous' precedent may also be our savior.
