FUTUROLOGY MAY I GET PINNED 😀
With port becoming automated via AI. Requiring drastically less human employees and combine that idea with a automated rail network this could become a site to watch for a new global standard.
All for competition! Though, I worry if the Suez will try to intentionally sabatoge this project. Also, this is dangerously near Turkish and Russian waters.
Is it worth it for them since we know the next routes will be in the North Pole?
thank you man been waitng for this!
Next video should be on new 2 trillion Saudi diversification plan
Iraq can’t figure out a stray dog issue.. this seems far fetched
America: we will democrate that Canal like panama…
0:44 I've always wondered why Iraq hasn't built a port on its only sea connection when I looking the maps.
Perhaps, due to the extremely small size of the coastline, they forgot that they had a sea connection.
Rail is 6 times cheaper than road, and ships are 20 times cheaper than roads. So this won't challenge the Suez Canel, unless secruity in the Canal is a problem.
competitiveness or not, better infrastructure will be good for Iraq
Delusional 😂😂😂
Wow really amazing wrok, as an Iraqi I really appreciate that
