I honestly don't know, I haven't read anything about Prescott. The reason I was thinking this is it is the perfect "conflict" to increase military spending. Russia and the U.S. were (for the most part) very stable adversaries in the Cold War in that one side or the other didn't want war but we still increased spending money in not only arms, but weapons and training. Again, it's all a conspiracy theory, just got me thinking is all.
And?

Putin getting old school up in this place! Re-build your fallout shelters and start building a wall because this **** is about to get cold war....
Wasn't Prescott Walker Bush involved in supplying oil to Hitler's army in some back door fashion. Sure war makes money, US and global economy is faltering, big time. Many have argued it was WW11 that lifted us out of depression, not the New Deal. The MIC was born and the subsequent rise of the middle class.
Oh nothing, nothing at all to look at here, just move along ya'll.
That's true. Truman wanted to try Prescott for treason. On this Russian base in the Arctic and the reason for it is that Global Warming is melting the Arctic ice. Many shipping groups are eyeballing and using these routes to save thousands of miles. Ice is still the hazard, ergo, icebreakers can turn a nifty profit assisting vessels in getting through. Port services are another asset. I suspect Russia will turn a profit from re-opening the base, although I do recall it being a big submarine base. Putin demonstrated, when he snatched the Russian Petro from the claws of Exxon/Mobil and JPMorganChase and made Russia the largest oil exporter in the world and putting the Russian budget in surplus, that he understood capitalism and corporatism. That is what really causes most of the bad press in the USA because he outsmarted and outmaneuvered top USA corporations. Screwed up their plans to have a Euro energy monopoly. I expect Canada to develop an Artic port and have an argument with the USA over territorial rights. Bah, humbug, ain't that Global Warming just a leftie myth? When big money invests in Artic development, it ain't a myth.
Maybe you can explain what is so "breaking" in the notion that Russia tries to establish a more robust presence in the Arctic waters - especially in the context of global warming melting the ice, which in the past made it more difficult to sail there?

nah the 20th century taught us that both Russia and the US are full of equal amounts of hot air.
Ill leave that to Dave, he did a great job.

Dave wrote it, congratulate him. Anyway if it was so obvious to you, why'd you ask?
I know that it's hard to understand online sarcasm but...wow.
Dude, every reasonable country tries to invest in its future, and protect its own interests, especially when new opportunities arise due to external factors such as climate change...there was/is nothing special or "breaking" about it.

I'm sure the Pentagon agrees with .........YOU!
