Canadian PM vows to defend Arctic - Canada's prime minister has begun a three-day trip to the Arctic in an effort to assert sovereignty over the region a week after Russia symbolically staked a claim to the North Pole by sending submarines.

Russia resumes nuke bomber sorties - Russia's strategic bombers have resumed the Soviet Union's Cold War practice of flying long-haul missions to areas patrolled by NATO and the United States, generals said on Thursday.

I keep trying to read the headlines with the intellect, objectivity and distance that supposedly comes with being a grown-up. Yet for some reason, all I want to do is pitch a massive hissy fit - clenched fists and all - while screaming "Stop it! STOPITSTOPITSTOPIT! This is stupid!" through waves of tears.

Neither seems to do any good.
