Sunday Commentary: Why the US must not lose control of the Strait of Hormuz?

Globalization is often mistakenly identified with liberalism and economics. In essence, globalization is the control of the seas and oceans. Since it is not possible to keep an eye on every square meter of sea or ocean, it is reflected in the control of straits. This was the case with Roman globalization, then with British and finally with American. All the most important straits are under the control or within reach of the American Navy, whose job it is to control them and ensure the passage of civilian ships and unhindered trade. “Pax Americana” is, at its core, that.

It is not so dangerous for the Americans to emerge defeated from a conflict with Iran – they have already lost many wars over the past eight decades – but they could suffer serious consequences if they lose control of the Strait of Hormuz, because it would be a strategic, not a mere tactical, defeat.

In the new Sunday Commentary, we answer the following questions:

  • Where are the seven most important straits located?
  • Who introduced globalization into modern history?
  • Why is free passage through the Strait of Hormuz more important to the US than winning the war with Iran?
  • What damage have Witkoff and Kushner done to American geostrategic interests?
  • Who started the American globalization of the world and when?
  • - How did the Americans regain control of the Panama Canal?
  • Why is Bab el Mandeb the most combustible point of contact, after the Taiwan Strait, between the US and China?
  • The role and significance of the Hudson Strait, Greenland and the Arctic?
  • What is the purpose of the "Polar Silk Road"?
  • How is it possible that Americans are losing wars and yet becoming stronger?

Answers on Sunday evening at 6:15 PM and 10:30 PM on Television Vijesti.
