Do you have a flag?

This article here brought the words of Eddie Izzard to mind from his "Dress to Kill" standup routine regarding Britain:

• We stole countries! That's how you build an empire. We stole countries with the cunning use of flags! Just sail around the world and stick a flag in. "I claim India for Britain!" And they're going, "You can't claim us, we live here! There's five hundred million of us!" - "Do you have a flag?" - "We don't need a bloody flag, this is our country, you b******!" - "No flag, no country! you can't have one! Those are the rules, that...I just made up."

So, it would seem that Russia has decided that the strategy of olden Britain will work for them in areas that are not inhabited by people. If anybody ever walks down to the sea floor at the north pole they will see Russia's flag and know that they were there first. "Ha ha, I beat you!" is all the flag seems to say to any other country at current. Hum...I wonder why. Well, you can read the article to find out more...I just had to post about Eddie because that spot so fits what Russia did:)
