Artic gold,estimated 90 billion untapped barrels of oil in the Artic.Its all mine try and take it if you can.You have to admire him ,no messing with Putin(the other fellows only a front),he seizes ,the moment along with anything else he can.More wealth for Mother russia(his mates).
Along with the gas,it looks like we will all be relying on russia for the foreseeable future for all our energy needs.
Maybe we should check out his Irish ancestors and try and get Cowan an invite for paddys day.We could give him a bowl of shamrock and he could give his Irish cousins free oil and gas ad infinitum.
Or else the Irish navy could just plant a flag on the artic seabed?.

Simple, get a few truckloads of vodka and lure those russians away.

Then again we are irish and that is a waste of perfectly good vodka...

The irony is that global warming is making it easier to explore/mine the Artic regions.

The Russians will be sending their top oil-man into the Arctic wastes - Ivan Frozabollockoff. :pac:

RUSSIA raised the prospect of war in the Arctic yesterday as nations struggle for control of the world's dwindling energy reserves.
The country's new national security strategy identified the intensifying battle for ownership of vast untapped oil and gas fields around its borders as a source of potential military conflict within a decade.

Soon the Polar bears will be worth more than gold.

National Geographic have a good article on it this month. The Russians even went below and planted a flag on the North Pole seabed.

Agreed, Vladimir 'Badass' Putin would sort this country out.

I can imagine him meeting with Cowen now...

Vlad : Ok Brian, is country in recession still?
Cowen : Yeah, well, you see... um...
Vlad : *smacks Cowen with the back of his hand*
Vlad : Now one more time, is recession still?

What's this thread about anyway, oil? Yeah oil rocks.

That's more or less how Cow-Hen dealt with Shell at Rossport isn't it?
