#2 Of course under International Law no Antarctic claims are recognized. So this is little more than a call for piracy on the high seas.

#6 If this is what we can expect with regard to Australia reorienting their military priorities then all hope is lost. Whale populations are sufficiently resurgent whereby we could allow the Japanese to harvest them unfetterd for a DECADE without worrying anywhere near as much as we should about using warships to, instead, pound the crap out of the MME (Muslim Middle East).
