Even if they’re not serious it’s a pretty amazing bit, and if they decide to actually build a military base down there and say fuck the un treaties and the penguins, I’m not saying the development of Antarctica is a good thing, but all that environmental destruction would be offset by counteracting US hegemony so it’s better that it happens than it doesn’t?

I sure do like rocks, very valuable

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i mean, yeah a piece of rock bigger than canada probably has a lot of valuable & useful shit in it, but if its accessible from ice melt we've got way bigger problems

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

The only real way to know is if the ice melts and they can do surveys...scary prospect
