A bargain...formerly referred to as Seward's Folly; but in today's global situation, giving a good Bering chokepoint on the the "yellow peril"; not content with their aggravating claim on the apparently Sino-exclusive South China Sea, exploring new Arctic commercial routes to the West thru the Arctic ocean...incl. profitable oceanic mineral surveys! I see an upcomining Canadian-Russia-US detente to stop the current aggressive global Sino-expansion in the heretofore Russo-N. American backyard.
