I think it's a great idea! The Suez Canal is the lynch pin of the world's economy (As we've seen the effects of a couple incidents now) and probably shouldn't be solely relied upon to the extent that we do. Russia is using the initiative and capitalising on the current climate change; it just happens to be Russia and not the U.K. No one would worry if it wasn't any other country but Russia/China.

@seankilburn7200 Unfortunately, no one and no country can really use that argument, as we've been no better. I understand your point, yet it's very hypocritical of any country to denounce such acts due to environmental concerns, after said country has done it's fair share of destruction and pillaging - In global terms. Just because the world is becoming woke, doesn't make the past disappear.
