ð No need to take the land, it can expand the territory! The United States has expanded the "undersea resources" rights by over 3.8 lakh square meters.
ð don't have to take the land, expand the territory! The United States extends over 3.8 hundred thousand square miles of "undersea resources."
In the modern world, expanding power and territory may not always mean occupying land, ð under international maritime regulations. If there is scientific evidence, countries can extend their rights over undersea resources far beyond standard coastal limits. ðĒ
Most recently, the United States has advanced its claim over the Extended Continental Shelf, which consumes 386,000 square miles of land, to increase access to resources under the ocean floor, whether important minerals or geological resources hidden under the seabed. ðâïļ
â ïļ The interesting thing is that this expansion is not the creation of new sovereign territories or waters, but rather "the enhancement of access" to strategically important underwater resources, which will strengthen the country's long-term economy. ð
Oceans are becoming increasingly important in terms of energy resources, rare minerals, telecommunications, and scientific research. ððĄ As the competition for vital resources becomes more fierce, the new geopolitics frontier we need to keep an eye on may no longer be on land...But deep under the ocean, sir! ðð
