your other foreign policy issues. what is going on with the north pole? why are countries battling for it? >> couple things. there are a lot of mineral resources there. 25% of the world's oil reserves. 15% of natural gas. there are gold, diamonds, platinum, all sorts of minerals. the other thing, putin, leader of russia he need an adversary right now because his economy is not doing very well. a lot of unhappy russians for other reasons. what better than to sort of assert a claim for everything in the north pole and therefore say, i am russia. jenna: i own the north pole. does russia have a claim to the north pole? >> yeah, but not a very good one. what they're doing, they're saying that the ridge is actually a part of russia's continental shelf. jenna: under the water. >> right underneath the north pole. goes all the way to canada. that's a pretty weak claim. that has already been ajudicated as not being good. russia has a claim for the north pole because of the ridge so does canada.
