[TexasTowelie]

Russia has reportedly found huge oil deposits in Antarctica. This claim was made by the Rosgeo Oil exploration company, and it has raised concerns among environmentalists and also in the British Parliament, because the alleged discovery are believed to have been made in polar territories claimed by the UK. More information with FRANCE 24's Shirli Sitbon.

2. If you dont want the Russians or Chinese to claim something, you better BE there to stop them

Its long past time for countries to start positioning people & equipment in all areas of the world that we KNOW they'll try to claim.

3. China and Russia believe all the world's resources belong to them.

China has even come out and said that no one has a right to intellectual property.
Any human innovation and invention belong to the world, including China.

4. The MAGA crowd is too stupid to realize

Without Democrats balancing the scales we lose the country, and I don’t just mean that in cheap political terms. Without the reforms by Biden and his administration we’d have fallen into the abyss and been strip mined even further for parts, property, and slave labor. Russia and China were perfectly content to work against us for decades plotting to amplify the worst qualities of unregulated capitalism while learning to triangulate control over the political sector. Donald cannot be president again, or we’ve lost the third world war. And yes, they were planning these actions, that’s why they’re so bitter we pulled the plug early on that attempt and started getting serious, so people can whine about supply chain disruptions and imitation inflation, but they’re only this bad because corporate leadership is throwing their weight around and pouting.

5. MAGA will happily sell out to Russia and China.

They have been tricked into thinking that is a good deal.

But yes the US will be hollowed out, everything taken by Russia and China.
We will be left with nothing.

Yes China and Russia carefully studied the US and found our weaknesses.
Then exploited those weaknesses to destroy the country and our democracy.

We are currently in a soft version of WWIII. And we are losing because we
don't understand what is happening.

6. I don't believe the international treaty allows exploiting natural resources.

It's been known for many years that there's coal and oil down there.
