    Yea, this is a good take until it gets into geopolitics. Putin would have been coup’d if he didn’t invade Crimea. It’s absolutely vital to Russia that they have that port and they’ve fought brutal wars over it in the past.

      Less vital in the era of climate change, as Artic ports are able to stay open year round.

      But still a big deal to have access to the Mediterranean.
