@@zaobyraymond5811 It's actually less convenient. There's a lot of narrow area to traverse that can be controlled by NATO nations, and a lot of what Russia exports is natural resources produced closer to the northern ports (with more northern resources made accessible by climate change), so Russia would actually prefer to use those northern ports. Particularly now that it won't be exporting to Europe for quite a while after the war it started since your post. Note that it ALREADY has northern ports. What climate change will do before NEED is needed is make them open year-round. We're already seeing shipping routes through the arctic open year-round.

But while Russia might be running down its best conventional military equipment, the reason Putin feels bold enough to burn down his own house while standing in it is because the nuclear threat means nobody will invade Russia. The only thing that will make Russia cease to exist will be a civil war, which hasn't yet shown signs of forming.

The Netherlands might as well set engineers onto the task of developing a way to heighten their existing land surface by inserting layers of rock and/or sand on a depth of a few meters underneath the existing fertile top layer of soil! In ancient times the Dutch in several regions would erect enormous, man-made hills to build their houses on (and the churches that every village built, no matter how small the size of the village or how small the number of people living there)!

The Russian "issues" with the NEED locking in its Baltic fleets needs to be considered against the background of the simple reason to construct these dams in the first place - rising SEA LEVELS! Which would be caused by the melting of Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets. This would simultaneously free up many northern Russian locations and ports from what is otherwise a seasonal locking-in by sea ice! So the Baltic and Arctic regions would effectively balance out, plus northern sea routes would vastly increase Russian maritime trade options.

Just imagine what I chould do if they reveled all this land below the north sea that's been lost for so many years! It whould be freaking awesome! So, if they do eventually decide to go through with this plan in the future, if I just wait a bit more longer, soon I chould just walk to England! Wow! Just imagine, what if.... rain.

From the Shetlands to Norway it is much deeper like 1000-2000 Meter. It isnt possible. At the Doggerbank it is like 30-50 meters. So you want to pump 30-50meters outside the North See? I think that is also not possible...
