@@QWERTY-gp8fd ​​⁠ 😂 Oh really? 🤣 You must be thinking about sea-storms and keeping an eye on the “dangerous weather” in an app, having to do with each country’s coastal cities and their crime rates so much every day. *Besides, is it not correct that deserts* (including the Mongolian desert) *would be more unsafe for your health than enjoying a beautiful sight at the sea coast?* Just think, if you’re in a desert: you would be far away from your house and You would only be traveling a long distance, while the sun would be shining hot. Then … Would you not get sun burnt at all? If the desert includes sand, would you really survive through a sand-storm? Finally, would you not realize that you will eventually go hungry and starve to death? 🙂 I mean, If you packed up food for the desert, you may run out of it. Anyways, I don’t want to burn in a desert, *so yes thanks to the seacoast being a beautiful sight.* besides I don’t really think about “crime rates” in coastal cities that much, as I will think about Ukraine facing crime against Russia and Israel facing crime against Palestine often these days. *I feel much safer to avoid drowning in the ocean than to become hungry in Mongolian desert.* 😊

And since my family only took me once to a holiday to sea, I was soo sad I just don't have the opportunity to swim in the sea. xD Also us czechs everytime talking about this topic, we will mention the small season in a history where Bohemia would have acces to a sea through part of austra, part of Italy and whole Slovenia (not even for a century but whatewa) in 13. century haha

I have only hurt one person in a fight in my life; when I was in the first grade of elementary (6-7 years old). in time between classes I was talking to a one of my friends and a bunch of other kids were around. someone mentioned going to the Caspian Sea and (being a wise-ass)I said: "Its actually a lake not a sea". someone in that group I didn't know replied: "You are stupid, if it's not a sea, why is it called the Caspian Sea" (we are speaking in persian, but we still call it a sea in persian)". I was so mad at that kid, we started arguing and he kept calling me stupid, so I said:"Lets see the map" and I grabbed him by the ear to drag him to the map. a few seconds later he started crying, his ear was partially torn off. there was a massive scar on the back of his ear that was caused by me pulling him towards the school map to show him the "Caspian lake". I remember a part of his ear becoming detached from the main part of the scull but I don't remember anything else. I hope that kid is doing well and still has his ear.

[@DaanBruins]

well, did he see the map?

[@craiglungren8703]

On the map, it will tell you that it’s “Caspian SEA” and not “Caspian Lake”. In this case, I like the stranger’s reply to you within your group. Of course, any place that includes a lake, sea, gulf, etc … - should have “Lake” in its official name, only if it’s a LAKE. - should have “Sea” in its official name, only if it is a SEA. - should have “Gulf” in its official name, only if it is a GULF, etc. 🙂 Finally, Confusing a lake for a sea (or vice-versa) is ridiculous.

Plus, *I don’t care what are lakes and what are not lakes.* - In the Middle East, Aqaba is not called a sea, an ocean or a lake. - Aqaba is a GULF. I don’t care that the Baltic Sea has access to the Atlantic Ocean. - The Mediterranean Sea is what separates the continents from one another (except Eurasia). - The Red Sea is what separates the continent Africa from Asia. - The Baltic Sea is completely within Europe just as the Caspian Sea is completely within Asia. - *If the Caspian Sea is a lake, then why is it called a sea?* 🤔 I should read it say CASPIAN LAKE on google maps and NOT CASPIAN SEA. - Claiming countries on the Baltic Sea as landlocked, is not the same as claiming countries on the Mediterranean Sea as landlocked. *I find it the same as claiming “the countries surrounding the Caspian Sea as landlocked” however.* - Caspian Sea is also NOT AN OCEAN, RIVER, etc. BUT A SEA whether you like it or not. - Baltic Sea is also NOT AN OCEAN, GULF, POND, etc. BUT A SEA. - Gulf of Aqaba is also NOT AN OCEAN, SEA, RIVER, etc. BUT A GULF. *Finally, my claim is not bonkers! Your words are bonkers.* ->Plus, I also think similar to your question: *Why should countries need access to the ocean to be considered landlocked?* They sure can be both “landlocked by a Gulf or a sea completely within a whole continent” AND “have access to an ocean at once”. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not a problem.

If I can’t include the countries that surround the Baltic Sea or the Gulf of Aqaba (while they at the same time do not touch the Mediterranean Sea or Red Sea; including the 5 oceans) then I’m not going to count the countries surrounding the Caspian Sea as “landlocked countries” either. Therefore, the Landlocked Countries are (in that case) … 1) Bolivia 2) Paraguay 3) Mali 4) Burkina Faso 5) Niger 6) Chad 7) Central African Republic 8) South Sudan 9) Ethiopia 10) Uganda 11) Rwanda 12) Burundi 13) Malawi 14) Zambia 15) Zimbabwe 16) Botswana 17) Eswatini 18) Lesotho 19) Andorra 20) Luxembourg 21) Switzerland 22) Liechtenstein 23) San Marino 24) Austria 25) Czechia 26) Slovakia 27) Hungary 28) Serbia 29) North Macedonia 30) Belarus 31) Moldova 32) Armenia 33) Uzbekistan 34) Afghanistan 35) Tajikistan 36) Kyrgyzstan 37) Nepal 38) Bhutan 39) Laos 40) Mongolia Yep, that’s right and it’s not even 44 - as google or this video counts more than 40! 🙂

The Danube touches the Moldovan border at its southernmost tip, and forms the border for 200 metres (656 ft). So Moldova can reach the Black Sea through the river

[@zach2382]

So what if counted rivers then there wouldn’t be any landlocked countries

[@lucatavianmilano]

Moldova has free access to international waters from the Port of Giurgiulești. The Danube is an international waterway there. Other landlocked countries need to ask a permission to eventually go through other countries'rivers.

@@lucatavianmilano that still doesn’t make it not landlocked it needs access to the ocean directly otherwise a coast

Papua new guinea is not the only country in Oceania that has a land border. There's them, Indonesia, borneo, Malaysia, and Brunei. Also, nepal is bordered by India and China, not Russia.

[@zach2382]

Borno is not part of Oceania. It’s in Asia.

[@phuttyyt]

There's them and Indonesia, yes, but that's it. The other countries you list are categorised by the UN as Asia, not Oceania.

You said Ethiopia is the 6th largest country on earth and the 10th largest in Africa. It doesn't add up...

[@Gazmeizster_Wongatron]

He meant 6th largest landlocked country on Earth (he added some small text in the corner) and 10th largest country in Africa overall.

[@the_drone_wanderer]

You've made a wrong note at 5.15 seconds! Nepal is surrounded by India and China. It's not India and Russia!
