I find it funny that they could simply exit the Antarctic treaty and take over Antarctica and gain more value. There's plenty of good stuff under that ice too.

- prepend 10mo agoI think that’s harder than just buying/hypnotizing/invading/whatever. If we exit the Antarctic treaty, then so will everyone else and there’s multiple competing claims.
