I want oil
So there is a spot between Canada and Greenland where there might be oil, and now all the countries around it claim it as their own. Especially America, Russia and yes, tiny little Denmark are being very aggressive about it.
Sweden can’t really get into the fight because he can’t claim that the spot belongs to him, and Norway is pretty relaxed about it, because he already has his own oil.

@Imbrake You have confirmed to me that Canadians are the most polite people ever. (Eh!)

I think Canada or Denmark should have the oil, seeing as it was found between Canada and Greenland. I mean, really US? GTFO, you take enough oil from us as it is! :P
(I'm sorry If I offended anyone! This is all in joking manner! Please don't be offended! I'm sorry!)

@Poffy It's not that simple. First of all, this comic is not really an accurate portrayal of the situation. The dispute is over the rights to the resources in/under the Arctic Ocean. Oil in between Canada/Greenland is just one part of the bigger picture.
Russia, Canada, US (Alaska), Denmark (Greenland), and Norway (Svalbard) all have legitimate claims, with the Russian and Canadian claims being the largest. All 5 countries want the territory; Canada and Norway are not being passive as the comic suggests.
Right now everyone is just posturing. How they divvy up the territory will be settled with negotiations and treaties eventually.
With that said the scenario is much funnier as portrayed in the comic. My only complaint is that America needs a bigger gun.

I agree with @Imbrake Its Canada's oil. The USA has a ton of oil but the EPA is to enviromentally wacked to drill, anywhere. I don't think anyone has mercy for the EPA though. (I wish I could come at this from a nicer standpoint, but the American gov. is somewhat crazy.)
