Hard not to feel like the real motive is to normalize territorial aggression. Sure it’s land, and when the ice melts it’ll be useful, but nobody behind these policies will live to benefit from that.
No one behind these policies ostensibly believes in climate to begin with. If they were coming out and saying “we want these places for our own so as to preserve our country from climate change” I would actually GAIN respect for the plan. Still the wrong way to do it, but at least it’s logical.
I feel reasonably confident that all of this is just ridiculous bullshit thought up by the most moronic people alive.
