I hate maps that don't have North as up. Why why why.
As for this, usually there are rivers that drain into seas. You need to have a plan for those too. Here is the drainage basin for the baltic sea:
So no not feasible.
Where is that map from? At least two of the Finnish rivers are titled with the name of a tributary, but with the correct name.
Found on duck duck go images, vividmaps.com which looks like random maps.
Are you Finnish? I have a question if you are.
What's the question?
So the US, Canada, and Finland just joined an icebreaker design consortium. And I'm wondering why Finland knows icebreakers. Do they need them in the baltic?
https://akerarctic.fi/en/arctic-passion/world-icebreakers-overview/
Finland leads the world Following World War II, Finnish companies made rapid advancements in icebreaking technology, pushing the state of the art in icebreaking design, construction, power supply, and propulsion systems. Today, Finland is a global leader in icebreaker design and construction, with most of the world’s icebreakers originating from Finnish expertise. Naturally, every single icebreaker in service in Finland has been designed and constructed locally.
Doesn't really fully answer the question, but yeah basically we have a lot of ice and shipping routes on the coastlines both west and south
Interesting, thanks.
Yeah, the northern parts of the gulf of Bothnia tend to freeze up during the winter.
Have traveled to Finland a couple of times and one of those rivers was familiar to me.
Alternate plan (as it would be a shame to waste a dam): Keep the dam, flood the Baltic sea until Kaliningrad is under water?
Even when it makes the body of water look like a velociraptor?
That's a shame. I like the dam plan.
It was damned from the start.
Even worse when there's no compass that indicates north.
But there's a chance that, cut off from the sea, the water collected wouldn't be enough to offset losses (evaporation, etc), right? Kind of like how the Mediterranean was dry when it was cut off from the Atlantic?
Well, no, its too far north for that to happen.
A telling sign is that the baltic sea gets less salty the further you go away from its connection to the north sea. That means that the water is flowing out of the baltic sea, so putting a dam there would only slowly rise the sea level.
What if it was a hydroelectric dam?
Completely unfeasable, Denmark doesn't understand the concept of funding infrastructure unless its highways
Surely they could put a highway on top of the dams.
We already have tolled highways exactly where those dams would be :(
They’d just drive in the empty oceans with their tanks and it’d be a land assault.
Instead of draining it, they could build the dam between Finland and Estonia, to force them to sail the long way around Scandinavia to reach it.
Have you ever tried to drive a tank through soft muddy terrain? Those tanks will sink into the muck at the bottom and be stuck.
I’ll drive my tank through your soft muddy terrain if you get my drift.
Russians are world champions on driving tanks through muddy soil. Or at least trying to.
Well, when the land forces are positioned equidistant from each shore, release the damns and flood the fuckers.
PT-76s are bisexual.
Extremely credible
There was once a proposal to dry up the Mediterranean to make more land. Turns out that if the insane plan was implemented it would have laid waste to all of Europe.
Just enforce a Blockade between Finland and Estonia and block access to the Baltics from Germany and Denmark. Gotta starve the militarys in Russia.
Dude, there are some people who are enjoying their holidays at the sea.
Fuck them, I live on the coast, I don't want to live close to a steppe
Bad map, bad! ::🗞
Bad map bad map bad bad bad map map map.
Where is Findland? I can't fin it.
could we please not fuck around with nature?
Big atlantropa vibes!
Technically not possible. It's easier to build a dyke between Poland and Lithuania and between Estonia and Finland.
Don't dry it up. Just make it too shallow.
Just run a rumor that Japanese missile boats are around the area, let nature take its course.
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.
