The geopolitical importance of sea lanes
[24/ December/2024]

Sana'a – Saba: Sea lanes are a very important issue for the United States of America as a colonial state to reach commercial markets and its military bases spread throughout the world, which made it focus and seek with all its economic and military power to control those lanes to secure the movement of its commercial and military ships.

One of the most important goals of forming NATO, in addition to the main goal of confronting the striking military power of the Soviet Union represented by the Warsaw Pact, was to control the sea lanes. For this purpose, Turkey, the Asian country with the exception of a small part of its area in Europe, was included in NATO to control the Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits that connect the Black and Mediterranean Seas, and Turkey was refused to join the European Union despite its persistent efforts to do so.

From the first moment of the outbreak of the Battle of the Red and Arabian Seas and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the United States of America went crazy because it would lose control of the two most important straits, Bab al-Mandab and the Strait of Hormuz, and for this reason it formed a striking naval force from the NATO countries and sent aircraft carriers and striking warships to the region.

At first, I thought that the military issue there was settled in its favor because the party facing it was the Yemeni Navy, which America and those with it believed that the issue did not deserve all this military mobilization to direct a crushing military strike against the Yemeni Navy due to the lack of equality on the battlefield.

What astonished the world was that America with its military might and the rest of the countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization were unable to confront the Yemeni Navy, and thus it suffered a crushing and harsh defeat at the hands of the Yemeni Navy, which imposed its conditions forcefully, represented by stopping the war on Gaza and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from it. From the perspective of modern warfare, the military machine, no matter how advanced, cannot decide the battle, but rather the decisive factor in any battle is the human being, not the weapon.

Yemeni drone and ballistic missile strikes continue on sensitive targets in occupied Palestine, and the military buildup that America brought to the Red and Arabian Seas and the Bab al-Mandab Strait will not be able to do anything, and is now waiting for Yemeni ballistic missiles and drones to destroy its warships.

In general, it can be said that a major defeat has been inflicted on the United States and the military system of NATO countries in addition to the Israeli military force, and the whole world is following and witnessing this.
