Turkey To Build $25 BILLION New Canal To Rival The Suez & Panama Canals
Canal Istanbul- Turkey To Build $25 BILLION New Canal To Rival The Suez & Panama Canals
Istanbul is a lively and diverse city straddling Europe and Asia, with its strategic location along the renowned Bosphorus strait. This strait links the Black Sea with the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, making it of utmost importance. However, Turkey is now seeking further strategic advantage, and is planning to construct another link. Turkey's leader recently announced the commencement of work on a colossal canal project which could completely bypass the Bosphorus Strait. So why is Turkey constructing another canal? And why is Turkey eager to spend a staggering $25 billion on this project? Today let’s delve into Turkey’s controversial plan to build a new canal.

    Every few years people talk about how they're going to build a new canal to take away from the Suez. It sounds great. Shit. It would even be awesome for every party involved. But the reality is, the amount of people it takes to build. Something like this is calculated in hundreds and hundreds of deaths. There's a reason why all these countries use pows to build rail lines and dig mega projects. Just ask the people of Russia who built the canal for Stalin, and then it turns out the canal was like 5 ft too shallow....... All this sounds great but the reality is it's not simple

    It should be clear to see that Turkey was encouraged & probably helped to undertake this project in order to be a partner in BRICS+. As many BRICS+ members are developing canals like this all over the world to thwart US-NATO from blocking strategic shipping routes such as the Malaca Straits, (Thailand canal), the Panama canal alternatives include a southern and Northern canal system through South America and a canal through Mexico. Afgahanistan is building a massive canal that was started many years ago and has been restarted with the encouragement and aid of Russia. all these canals combined are probaly costing less than NATO costs in the Ukraine conflict, but will reap benefits for all concerned for at least a century. showing the difference between the Western Approach to acquiring short term gains for a few corporations & Oligarchs, at horrendous costs for all concerned and the BRICS+ approach of undertaking huge projects that will reap massive benefits for the long term, for all concerned.

    In the first place, any major improvement in international maritime commerce is very positive for a variety of good reasons. Faster and safer water transport through difficult land bodies is positive in and of itself. Increased growth in worldwide economic progress demands the best of commercial communication and transport. Every major country should work to improve its own competitive position and enhancement of commercial and social benefits. I believe that a rising tide provides the opportunity for all of humanities 'boats' to benefit in a most positive manner. Therefore, I concur with Turkey's project plans and hope for the most positive outcome for all stakeholders. Thanks for this program. Bill K.

    40,000 ships a yr Canal takes 4,400. So it ain't about capacity. Follow the money Turkey can deny military ship access to old waterway leaving only the new canal & can then change literally anything they want of US EU other warships. Russia of course can bring in warships via its rivers & canals as it's done during war. At the same time this is Russia prime oil access to markets. Otherwise it's the North Sea which is at the least problematic in winter. So Turkey can charge vast $ by simply saying hazardous ships banned from heavily populated old passage. Turkey can also rig the prioritization of ships using old way. Got a Chinese ship w 20,000 containers, tell them wait a month or pay up. At Panama canal there's an auction daily for limited skip the line spots. If you have a car carrier 5 million on a 70 million cargo & having ship tied up a month is a reasonable fee & 20x the standard cost. So KA CHING Turkey

    The canal will be done. People who are against it are all people who have voted for a mayor who was on holiday during an earthquake, used the municipality’s equipment for personal preferences, and builds cash money towers to buy personal and political related stuff. Being stupid, acting stupid and shouting that its good to be stupid is a common thing whitin the opposition. Think about it, an opposition mayor said he would do absolutely nothing if he was going to be elected, he presented no project, had no vision, said he would sit on his chair for the duration of his tenure and guess what, he got elected just to sting people who are willing to work! This happened in an suburb of Ankara, who already had a mayor linked to the opposition. And guess what, since he was elected 6 years ago everytime when it rains the streets turns into rivers, people litterally die but yet these woke people still applaud and chant their name whenever possible. Stupidity is a real thing in Turkiye, letting underaged kids drink beer is according to the opposition, who try to cancel this canal, modernity. Underaged kids have tattoo’s in Turkiye and its all because of this redicilous opposition, because they name it freedom.
