As I said in another thread, if we just decided to go boating down Lake Erie, through a few streams down to the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, I think you guys would have a problem with that. Regardless if there is land mass or waters, the territories have been marked and they stand. They have been find for quite a long time now, until they benefit someone else who didn't give a dam originally.
As a US Citizen, you should know much about illegal transportation and smuggling past borders. If we allow free passage for anybody, then we've got the same problem.... Just talk of this has already made the government boost patrols and forces up there (Pretty petty at the moment if you ask me, but those are the breaks I suppose)
About the chunk of rock... it can be a very good spot for whatever someone may want it for. For what? I have my ideas. |
Open cean is quite differnet from streams, and it looks like russia stands to have a more efficient passage as it is (off their coast. anyway, I don't know if it's their waters) The thing is, are the routes passing through canadian waters, some must, but will the lanes widen to such an extent that this is no longer needed?
