    Narrator has forgot to mention one important thing when describing geopolitical dependency from the supplier of natural gas and oil.
    The dependency is mutual. The bulk of oil and gas supply from Russia to EU comes through the aforementioned Eastern European countries, and they heavily manipulated their position as an oil/gas transit countries to gain exclusive cheap offers on gas and oil from Russia. Sometimes they forced other kinds of political and economical benefits like cheap loans from Russia.
    The demands were becoming increasingly inadequate from the Russian point of view, so it decided to start several expensive projects like a pipeline to Turkey over the Black sea and to Germany over the Baltic Sea.
    The pipelines over the Eastern European countries is indeed a mean of manipulation. But not by Russia, but by Eastern European controllers, which are in fact United States. They use this influence over Western Europe oil and gas supplies to leverage EU political process and use Eastern European countries to promote US interests in EU.
    That is why Nord Stream 2 becomes such a problem right now, receiving an unprecedented pressure from US authorities, including direct economic and political blackmail. If it is completed - Russia will be able to finally abandon its oil and gas transit over Eastern Europe and supply these goods directly to predictable, lucrative and much more responsible politically Western European market.
    It is mostly a question of losing influence on EU from US point of view, and not a question of losing a share of the shale oil and gas market.

    Great video and super informative. I did a bit of research and found out that out of the 4 tentative routes the only viable one is the NSR (Northern Sea Route), the North Western Passage via Canada is definitely a no go despite being the second shortest, reason is that the sea is permanently covered by ice and ice thickness is in the range of 3 to 4 meters thick and very compacted whereas the NSR is free of ice for roughly 3 to 4 months and when is covered by ice is only 1 to 2 meters thick and not as compacted as the North Western Passage hence a lot easier for Icebreakers, all of these because earth inclination that exposes NSR to the sun melting the ice for a few months and when is covered by ice is not so thick nor compact. Other reasons that I found that makes the North Western Passage too dangerous is the number of Icebergs lose in the area, similar to what happened to the Titanic. And there is the political reason stated in the video but I believe is not as important as the reasons I mentioned. Seems to me that there is only one clear and viable option and is NSR.

    Amit, this is very informative and well investigated. I appreciate your videos! Although a shorter distance from point A to point B, The Arctic sea route is not the most efficient transportation corridor due to its unstable climate and marginal economic impact. The climate patterns may change year over year, needing many more icebreakers or having not enough at some point in time, which would indeed be a dealbreaker, instead. The fact is, trade routes are meant to cover many stops, each of which is a trading hot spot, and not only service the end points (China to Europe), Even the Canadian Arctic route is inefficient for the same reasons, even if only there is one stop between Asia and Europe, Panama is a major hot spot for Latin Ameircan trade. Think of it as a bus line with many stops, which is the reason for the bus line. The end points are just that -- one more stop in the busline line.

      I am not sure if all ships can be used on the Arctic route. I suspect that the requirements for hulls are more stringent, you can bang chunks of ice from time to time even when you follow an icebreaker -- in a long convoy. It will be a winner from Japan, Korea and north China to north Europe -- Mediterranean Europe is close to Suez Canal unlike England and the Netherlands. One risk is much lower up north: pirates.

      @KJER ERRT Well partners work together but are not integrated with each other. (Like India working together with Japan to counter China.)
      Because this integration creates a dependence.
      Look at NATO. There the countries are 'allies'. But if you look at it now, it is the US who is dictating a lot of European international policies. The integration has made the European partners dependent on the US.
      Look at the whole F35 saga. European countries invested in the development of the F35 with the agreement that they get acces to the source code of the software and things like that. Than after some countries payed and had to pay even more because of American cost overruns the US simply tells them that they won't give access to the source code. This in complete violation of the contracts they signed. So European partners are left with an exploded bill and get an aircraft that regularly needs software updates from the US. If they don't get them, there multi billion dollar investment becomes worthless.
      Or in the case of to Turkey:"Yes, you payed. Yes, you helped in the development of some componenents. Yes, we allready signed the contracts with you.
      But we don't like you any more and you don't get the F35."
      (I am not defending Turkey or there position, but simply stating facts)
      This is a kind of thing that the Russians will not tolerate.

      (If you are going to point out that Sputnik in in that list, I allready know.)
      The part on the F35 is based on statements made om mainstream news in several EU countries. It was in political debates in several countries. This is not news that is somewhere out there, it is mainstream. Several countries like Germany (who could really use the F35) don't want to buy it for that reason. They are thinking of buying the older F18 super hornet. Even if it has allmost no stealth features.
      So that will probably mean that it is fake.

    It must be added that it's ONLY a number of total units in service. No word about the type and capabilities of said icebreakers. E.g. Estonian 2 icebreakers are lowest class with very limited capabilities (can only break think ice), while China and Japan both have 1 each in service which are of way higher class.
    Russia already dominates far beyong compared to others with the amount of icebreakers which outclass any other icebreakers in the world. In the near future Russia will own 10 of such icebreakers alone.Just let it think in for a moment: - Russia in the near future will not only have outclassed and outmatched icebreakers serving in its arctic fleet, but also THE AMOUNT of those outclassed and outmatched machines will OUTMATCH any other icebreaker fleet on the planet.
