Russia claims the fluid deep down is oil, possibly created by the earth itself, just waiting for whoever drills it first, accessible from anywhere. They have some supporting evidence for this notion, too:
1. What they bring up from the depths is chemically different from what US methods yield;
2. In the wake of US declaring certain areas devoid of resources, Russians have drilled deep to yield the same type of oil they do elsewhere.
This doesn't mean all their ideas are correct, but it does prove US ideas don't have all pertinent information.
So what do we conclude from this?
