The point is, it's a moot point now. It's useless to bring it up. We already turned down a possible negotiaton basically, so it's not a good point to bring up anymore.

What have the Russians done with the place? Did they redecorate and invest in the property?

Serves you right for siding with teh Nazis. At least you got Porkalla back.

LordShiva, are WWII jokes seen as legit ways to mess up a thread these days? Jokes OK, but war jokes, fine. Want to do war jokes? Why don't you just get out of here.

It's pretty much worthless area, it would cost too much to fix it up anyway. But it has been an issue and a long debate in here, so if it's true what now has been claimed, I mean put an end to it then.

And it's not like I blame people for not actively pursuing at least joint ventures and investing in that region with Russia, but the way that it's been handled is kind of lame.

Oh and on the land thingy-- you should offer to play them a junior hockey series for it-- winner take all--

I thinkm thats Canada's position on sovereignty in the Arctic too- We'll play anyone a junior hockey series ( we sure as heck don't want to be fighting any wars-)
