By “everybody,” Huebert is mainly referring to the nations ringing the Arctic—the United States, Canada, Russia, Norway, and Denmark. Norway and Denmark have focused their security efforts on the Arctic, Russia famously planted a flag on the North Pole seabed in 2007 and has been more assertive in its Arctic policy, the United States is increasing its presence in Alaska, and Canada, Huebert said, is “talking a lot, but not doing anything.”
Sa pamamagitan ng "lahat ng tao," Huebert ay pangunahing nagre-refer sa mga bansa ng tugtog ng Arctic-Estados Unidos, Canada, Russia, Norway, at Denmark. Norway at Denmark ay may nakatutok ang kanilang mga pagsisikap sa seguridad sa Arctic, Russia famously nakatanim isang flag sa North Pole seabed sa 2007 at ay naging mas mapamilit sa kanyang patakarang Arctic, ang Estados Unidos ay ang pagtaas nito presensya sa Alaska, at Canada, sinabi Huebert, ay "pakikipag-usap ng isang pulutong, ngunit hindi gumagawa ng anumang bagay."
