we left behind back in the late '40s. I had no idea we left rusting, deteriorating buildings, barrels full of toxic who knows what. Even a once underground nuclear facility that's now surfacing
as the Arctic ice is receding.

Once the land is restored to how you found it, we'll talk about a mutual protection pact between our two nations — no need for any invasion/occupation. Sort of like what we thought we had with NATO. Remember that?

The island is certainly not going anywhere. We're here, We'll lease you more land for a base/bases with clauses for clean up and leave it how you found it in the future, and leave it there so Russia, China and whoever knows of the pact and to keep away.

Again, no need for an invasion, we'll talk late about mineral development with an agreed upon compensation percentage as it is our land and our minerals.

How about that bully boys?
