#tradeRoutes
A demonstration of Canadian sovereignty from 70+ years ago.
The context then was the Cold War.
Makes one wonder what's changed today.

Kinda like watching all the people cheering about the announcement for the Indigenous no-tariff traderoutes, thinking that meant we were going to open a kind of NDN Costco for white people to shop at was...something else.

Europe 🇪🇺 and Canada 🇨🇦 needs Greenland 🇬🇱 for security reasons.

We need this to protect our commen interest, traderoutes, flight routes etc.

We need to protect us against RUS and US.

And Kerguelen is the most important of those to secure alternate transport routes to Australasia in the Pacific.
Personally I find it ironic that we are now putting in place the same protection for the same traderoutes, that we used in the age of sail.

Cat Jarmans 'River Kings' is an excellent book on Viking traderoutes! And very well written. Cannot recommend it enough.

Eurasia’s new corridors are often framed as rivalry, but the continent’s deeper story may be the return of routes that connect rather than divide. https://ow.ly/rocP50Z5IOB #Eurasia #Connectivity #MiddleCorridor #CentralAsia #Trade #TradeRoutes #SilkRoadRevival

Houthis are weaker than they were. Situation on the ground is not favorable, US having a lot of airpower in region and their main supplier Iran even more cut off than before. Hence their feeble two attacks on Israel and nothing more. But off even few attacks can throw another wrench into traderoutes

One of the things I've appreciated with the internet in this time and era is being able to connect with other Nesians. It's like we're using the traderoutes out ancestors used through cyberspace. I have met so many people and shared experiences and ideas.
