On another note, are the seas and oceans ever cleaned up from all this junk which falls into it? Is there any plan at all? Or, it's on the bottom and nobody can see it so we don't have to care about it.
Nope. I believe there are nuclear reactors and warheads sitting on the bottom of the ocean from submarine accidents, though possibly those have been secretly recovered.
Even on land they aren't cleaned up (see http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xVwr9gMopMY/UGhek26WYJI/AAAAAAAABz... for example, on Kerguelen island there is large area littered with missiles remaining from France-USSR testing in the 60's) so under the sea? Not a chance.
The first thing I noticed in this article is that the continents on AFP's visual seem warped. You can even see parts of Antarctica away from the empty south pole, and Siberia seems to occupy the north pole.
This is weird, they could just not have added meridians and parallels, and it would have been fine.
That was just a military exercise and a clear power demonstration.
But indeed we are very close to another war, and IMHO this time will not be a walk in the park with a possible Russian intervention on it. Remember, Kremlin always consider US a 'business partner' which can be easily turned into an enemy.

Let's say I can understand the NSA stories, since they're somewhat tech related, but this is just off-topic, IMHO.
