Russia lays claim to the North Pole - and all its gas, oil, and diamonds

Russian leader Vladimir Putin has made an astonishing bid to grab a vast chunk of the Arctic, giving himself claim to its vast potential oil, gas and mineral wealth.
His audacious argument that an underwater Russian ridge is linked to the North Pole is likely to lead to an international outcry.

Some commentators have already observed it is further evidence of growing Russian assertiveness under its authoritarian president.

Thoughts?

IMO this will make them the no.1 oil producer in the world, moving them ahead of Arabia.
