| #2 Russia is a paper tiger and not up to Putin's ambitions. I'm more than happy to sit back and let them bail out Iceland, particularly with oil under $70 and base commodities collapsing. Empires are expensive and Russia cannot afford one. |

| #1 This sucks. As a kid, I lived on Keflavik AFB (this is in the 50's before the Navy took over) and enjoyed the Icelandic people and their culture. I cannot believe we are giving them up to Putin and his ilk. Iceland has a new Aluminum smelter on the northeast side and other resources. Its still pretty strategic to me. Sad. |
