You know what’s funny about this? China is really big on helping Russia with the arctic seaway “so they can get a better route to access Europe”. The “Arctic Silk Road.”

Now look at China on Google Earth or Maps and follow the route up over Russia and back down into Europe. It is WAYYY longer than taking the Suez route through the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea.

But... if you look at the route on the Gleeson’s map, it makes sense and is seemingly a shorter route than the Suez.
