Dirty Commie Rat Thugs Try to Steal the North Pole (UPDATED)
You saw their testosterone-sapping display of muscle love in See-Dub's post below. Now see their nefarious plan to seize the North Pole.
An audacious Russian mission to claim the North Pole for Moscow is due to reach its climax in the next 24 hours, after a week-long journey through thick ice-sheets.If this claim is successful, I propose we institute a crash program to promote global cooling.Two Russian vessels - including an atomic icebreaker - are expected to reach the Pole this afternoon.
...
The gesture, while symbolic, marks an escalation of the growing international dispute over who owns the Lomonosov Ridge, a 1,240 mile underwater mountain range that crosses the polar region. It is thought to contain rich oil and gas deposits.Moscow believes the research mission will prove that the ridge is a geological extension of Russia, and can therefore can be claimed by Russia under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
We'll ice the commie b*st*ards in.
UPDATE: They planted their flag on the ridge. A titanium flag flying more than 2 miles below the surface. I can't wait for Canada and Denmark to stake their claims as well - visions of Duck Dodgers of the 24 1/2 Century come to mind.
