Brunei: Hey guys I just want this little rectangle here Everyone else: Laughs and starts building military bases

[@speedy01247]

I do feel bad for them, though I think maybe make a special zone for the islands everyone contests where they divide the profits (probably won't work cause greed) like 90% of their claims are reasonable (minus china's claims which are closer to 70% reasonable) so for now say they get all their currently uncontested claims and then work on the contested ones. (Brunei gets their area though, Malaysia needs to stop being a dick and claiming the land directly away from Brunei)

[@someguyontheinternet7]

speedy01247 Yeah, but I guess Malaysia wants Sabah (North-Eastern Borneo) & Sarawak (North-Western Borneo) to be more accessible to each other, which would be more difficult if their maritime EEZ was separated by Bruneian territory.

[@Frommerman]

@@someguyontheinternet7 So make an agreement with Brunei allowing Malaysian passenger and cargo ships to pass through their EEZ for a modest fee. Don't just steal the whole thing.

[@theyoshi202]

@speedy01247 China’s claims are 10% reasonable not 70%. That 10% is the northern stuff by Japan (because if they they own Taiwan like they say they do, their EEZ is around that too). But the entire South China Sea claim is baseless and unreasonable.

There's a pretty significant difference between "EEZ" and "Territorial Waters," as shown by the diagram that appears at the 4:54 mark. Territorial waters (owned by the country with a coastline) only go out 12 nautical miles, and "International Waters" are anything outside *Territorial* waters. So about 188 miles of EEZ is in International waters. Ships can cruise through International Waters any time they want, they just can't fish or drill for oil or whatever in other counties' EEZs...

@@fromfareast3070 30 years ago they didn’t even have from where to collapse. First widespread “collapse” talks other than that one guy said so, started less than 10 years ago, after 2008 crisis, when government started to pump money into economy to keep economically growing even though foreign markets for export were in recession. That’s still less than 10 years. Obviously economy is largely about feelings, so we won’t ever know how individual people make their mind and whether they start economic crisis tomorrow or keep pushing regardless for next 100 years. But those economic risks are there regardless.

[@nottoday3817]

Contrary to that estonian idiot, no. They could legally not do that. The video might suggest a confusion made between territorial waters and EEZ (exclusive economic zone) which are 2 different things. To quote Wikipedia for the simplest definition I could find: 'the difference between the territorial sea and the exclusive economic zone is that the first confers full sovereignty over the waters, whereas the second is merely a "sovereign right" which refers to the coastal state's rights below the surface of the sea. The surface waters, as can be seen in the map, are international water' To put it into detail: in Russian waters, aka territorial waters belonging to Russia, they could do whatever they want and you are not allowed to pass through them. The limit for this area is 20km from the shore. In an EEZ you are not allowed to fully restrict water transit. The best you could do is set up stationary objectives, like oil platforms, but that's all. A slightly particular case is with the Kerch Strait and the new Crimean bridge

[@SkiddyGaming]

@@estoniaboodoingmapping1095 Russia has been participating in proxy wars with the US yes, but over the last couple decades they've been almost exclusively defensive ones (propping up allied governments against US proxies) while the US has been on the offense... it's not so much a choice on the part of the Russians in most of these case as an obligation if they wish to maintain or enhance their influence, and prevent total US hegemony (which they most certainly do wish to do). Worth noting also that those proxy wars haven't been going half badly for Russia over the last half decade plus. US backed "rebels" (led most prominently by Al-Qaeda in Syria, though they like to avoid mentioning that bit) have almost completely failed to oust Russia ally Assad in Syria, with Russian intervention having pretty thoroughly helped crush that threat by now (Syria is currently mopping up the last remnant in Idlib province), the US backed Saudi-led Coalition has failed to put down the Iranian aligned Houthis in Yemen, and the US backed attempted coup in Venezeula flopped inside of a week, with Russian/Chinese ally Maduro retaining power to this day, despite US backed pretender Guadios constant posturing (which has gotten him nothing less but thrown out of the leadership of his own opposition, let along the country as a whole). If anybody is losing money on dumb proxy wars they aren't winning, it's the US, who would probably be well advised to look inward and invest some of that money in public healthcare and education instead.

I don't know historically who claims them. And when I say historically claims them, I mean documents that prove they own the islands from that time. Not someone saying they own it. What should happen is that the sea becomes international waters. But it's not like the South China Sea is the same as the UKs, France's, Netherlands, USs, Germany's, Russian, etc. International claims from Islands they own.
