Now that's a land grab

If you're going to claim squatters rights, why do it over a building? Start with a sub-continent, and see if anyone notices.

Nice to see the Rooskies back to their old imperial selves. They're clearly a little rusty, however. The old Soviet ministries would never have a let a loose cannon like this guy deviate from the party line:

"Frankly I think it's a little bit strange," Sergey Priamikov, the international co-operation director of Russia's Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute in St Petersburg, told the Guardian. "Canada could make exactly the same claim. The Canadians could say that the Lomonosov ridge is part of the Canadian shelf, which means Russia should in fact belong to Canada, together with the whole of Eurasia."

Someone better start cooking his own meals.
