Hey guys. If you're interested, I made a 23-minute long documentary that covers the entire history of the US-Iran conflict which you can watch here on Nebula: bit.ly/3D3KiLn. It's part of my Modern Conflicts series on Nebula, and this is the 7th episode that I've posted over there so far. I'm posting new episodes every month and I have tons of content over there already that I can't post to CZcams, and the best way to get access to all of that is by signing up for the CuriosityStream/Nebula bundle deal, which is only $15 a year at this link: curiositystream.com/?coupon=reallifelore

Hello, if you are not saved, and would like to be included in the rapture of the church. Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple. Do it today, don't delay. Time is short. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9-10

We're fully aware of it for ages and been working hard on developing renewable energy... just kidding we're hardly moving forward on that matter due to corruption, accidents, sheer ignorance of people in general haha. Anti-nuclear is very strong because we keep bombing ourselves. Solar panels aren't getting popular because anytime we build them on a slope a landslide kills people because we don't have a flat land. We're very much oblivious to the danger hidden around the corner because we've taken the peacefulness as granted for the last half century. I'll take a blow on the nose to wake us up.

Pipeline? What they need is a CANAL across the desert, far enough from the SoH to stop Iran from shelling.
Hi
Thank you so much for these videos. They are so informative. I can't help thiking each of these would form the basis of the next 110 mission impossible movies!
I agree with you that the Strait of hormuz might be the most important Strait as far as oil is concerned .
In my opinion, the suez canal is more critical as far as oil supply is concerned, especially for Europe taking into account the current situation of the war in Ukraine.
well, we saw that scenario in 1956, and no, Europe has changed heavily and won't go for escalation like before. Btw, Egypt has zero reasons to close the Canal, because it is dependant on the global trade, unlike batshit regime in Iran
A vessel from Japan or China to Europe has to cross 4 critical points:
The Malacca Strait between the Chinese Sea and the Indian Ocean, the said Strait of Hormus and the Suez Canal at both ends of the Red Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar.
Britain helped Singapore to become independent from Malaysia after their colonial rule of Malacca, they held the Suez Canal and still have Gibraltar, as well as the Spaniards hold Ceuta and Melilla opposite of Gibraltar.
And for the very same reason the USA assisted Panama to leave Colombia and held the Panama Canal Zone for a century.
One could say that Anglo-Saxon imperialism is by far the biggest threat to the international trade routes.

"Currently they rely on trade" - wow that felt like such a coded warning against Japan
Who knows? Japan might go get some resources through different means sometime later
What warning?
@ 臥龍 he’s implying that they currently rely on trade however who knows what will happen in the future with the changing climate and global population boom - implying that in the future Japan may be forced to go to war to keep the inflow of resources that it needs
Japan's "self-defense forces" are well-trained, well-equipped, and their navy is one of the best in the world. They also produce most of their own equipment in Japan for strategic reasons, even if it costs more that way. In addition, they're at the "bomb in the basement" stage as far as nuclear weapons development goes, meaning they could whip up functioning nuclear weapons and delivery systems with existing technology and infrastructure in a matter of months if they haven't already, in case of emergency... and they spend just 1% of their GDP on the military. I'm very happy that they're on our side.
@@callumsaunderson1089 "Who knows what will happen in the future" can be said for any country on the planet.
Japan today is a stable democracy and virtually all of its citizens are against war. A warning for Japan doesn't make sense.
In fact, if you look at post-WWII history, it's probably the US who should be warned about going to war lol.
I sailed through there a bunch of times when things weren't so good. It was pretty tense.

I would like to mention a mistake in the animation showed from 1:42. Apparently the trade route to the baltic sea is shown to run north of denmark, but in reality The Kiel Canal links the north- and the baltic sea and saves 250NM instead of using the route around Jutland.
I'm not a navigator, but I'd think that a canal would have a difficult time handling a significant amount of shipping and it may just be easier for some of that traffic to go around the 250 NM. We're not talking about skirting Africa or South America. 250 NM is just around the corner.
@Michael the Kiel Canal handles about 90 ships per day and was built over a century ago. It's actually the world's most frequently used artificial waterway, and very important to trade in Northern Europe. Bit of a miss by the animation used for the video, even if it's not the subject of the video.
In shipping, anything that can knock time off of a trade route is a big deal. That 250 nm time savings each way adds up to huge operational cost savings for shipping companies, even while paying any canal tolls that exist.
The Kiel canal should have shown up in the 2:53 animation close-ups. At 1:42 it is world-wide and excusable especially if it was drawn as a white line in close-up.
The Kiel Canal is an extra release point for the Baltic to North Sea straights.
But, in the same vein, the Welland Canal is a choke point between Great Lakes & St. Lawrence and doesn’t get mention because it is not politically sensitive. But as long as the Danube is ignored so I guess the Seaway can be.
This is a fantastic channel. Crazy good maps

Shock Jock ???
This makes me understand what Frank Herbert was getting at in Dune. A massive civilization, dependent on one place.
The spice, I mean oil, must flow.
One place and one product. The analogy falls off though. Only one planet produced spice. Lots of countries produce their own oil, and America could be a net exporter if we wanted to. For some reason, our politicians semm to want to involve us in mideast conflicts, with no good reason to do so. Some combination of oil investments, military spending and partisan politics perhaps.
@@bobbarclay3203 domestic oil production requires fracking which is pretty dirty
@@MajorMlgNoob Yeah, and so is strip mining. Not 10 miles from where I live are old strip mine sites. On them are several wind farms generating electricity that is fed into the power grid. Around the wind farms are many square miles of state owned forest and game lands that were acquired by the State from the coal companies. On those lands are public trails, trout streams, deer, bears, turkeys, rabbits and squirrels, and coyotes. Many of the smaller farms that surround this forest can't support themselves on crops, and the land is valuable as recreation property. If the farmers sell, the development would enclose and encroach on the recovering forest. So landowners maintain and suport their farms by allowing fracking on there land, for which they are paid fairly well. The drillers extract natural gas, which, until recently was intended to be piped to ports and shipped to Europe, which attains some of its environmental goals by burning gas instead of coal. We would not have needed to allow Russia to build the NORD pipeline. Our national balance of payments would improve, the dollar would be worth more, and American workers would have benefitted.
Fracking causes nowhere near the damage that strip mining did, but society found a way to get the use of the coal, and improve the state we live in, each at the appropriate time. Fracking provides multiple benefits to society which should be evaluated honestly, not the least of which are economic. If you oppose fracking thinking its dangerous, dirty, or harmful to the environment you are paying attention to partisan politics, not environmental science.
But that was because of the universal spice addiction...

Summary: it's the strait of Hormuz, because over 50% of world's oil flows through it (only 20% of which can flow through alternative routes if necessary), and it's easy to be closed off by the Iran military, which is why America has many bases nearby. America and Iran has a long bad relationship and has been on the edge of war recently.

I sailed through the Strait of Hormuz in a naval ship. Didn't get to see anything because it's doctrine to completely button up the ship and have everybody stay inside except for the guys manning the machine guns and an escort heli. Just gives you an idea of how sketchy that area is.
Persians don't like outsiders
A bit of overreacting here i guess
Sketchy because foreign naval military ships always sailing through there.
The US Navy ship I was stationed on traversed the Straits of Hormuz numerous times. On one of those occasions the ship lost all power in the middle of the night. We were DIW (dead in the water). The only weapons system we had at that point was small arms. It was only for about 3 minutes. People were rushing around trying to get the engines and generators back up. It was quite terrifying. Luckily our engines came back on and we made it safely through.

@@mammutMK2 agree
That explains the British Empire, just wedge your ships in the gaps depending on the country, only allowing your own trade to go through and no one else until the other side concedes to your wishes… there were no planes back then.
Low-key genius, explains why countries rush for naval blockades before anything else/why submarines are so dangerous.
What's even more terrifying is being a submariner deployed for months at a time directly in that area. Now, imagine only having seconds to make a decision rather or not your ship can maneuver at periscope depth or if an emergency deep is required. No one can see you so they're not stopping and just about every ship there can slice open the people tank without much effort.
didnt bother you when you thought it was your empire that was in control 😂
Thanks for the tip
After a quick check of a map, the cargo traffic channels look like they have areas that are shallower than a container ship’s total height. (25m depth vs. 30m keel to top on a mid-sized container vessel). Which means even non-state actors have the capacity to shut down the Strait of Hormuz by sinking a couple of them mid-channel, perhaps with bombs planted while they were in port. 3.2km (2mi) per lane isn’t as wide as one might think for vessels with as much momentum as cargo ships have.

The Bosphorus and Dadanells could bottle a significant part of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. The Russians were rabid about keeping their port on The Crimean Peninsula, but they still suffer from potentially being landlocked with the exception of Vladivostok during the months of heavy sea ice. I think that is why the Russians are developing hypersonic missiles that could even be fired from immobilized ships.

In short, he’s bringing this up due to the increasing relevance of the new Cold War between the US and China. The Strait of Hormuz is just one of the points of contention between the world’s major alliances, if you want to call it that. You can read about the SCO(Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) of which Iran just became a member of on September 17. It also includes China, Russia, Pakistan, and some other countries in Central Asia. It’s like a sort of Eurasian Bloc. It’s main opponent is of course the US, NATO, Japan, and their allied countries.
There are other points of contention as well, such as the Strait of Malacca, the Ukrainian conflict, Syrian Civil War, Taiwan, etc. Basically whoever edges out on top of these conflicts will gain a lot of power for decades to come. For our rulers the world map looks a lot like a chessboard, and this is the game that is being played. Once you start to understand that a lot of these things become much clearer.
So foreign policy is just Risk IRL?

@Gopal Dewasi No friend, the new Cold War is not between India and China, although they both are in the opposite camps. It's not even between USA and China, although they both are the main opponents. We have to think in geopolitical terms. The new Cold War is between the sea powers (USA, UK, Med countries etc) and the land powers (China, Russia, Germany etc) It is a new version of the Peloponnesian War, which was between Athens + allies (sea) vs Sparta + allies (land). Thucydides is becoming contemporary once again!
Closed captions just showed Hormuz as "horror moves." That seems strangely appropriate!
"About 70% to be precise." Very precise hahaha
When he showed the map for some reason I tought the black is the sea and the blue is the land, I was confused watching this half awake, and I tought this is some pre historic map, and then I switch it and it makes sense
Same lol
Buster from Arrested Devlopment lookin-ass

Actually, part of the reason for the massive tailbacks you’re seeing in LA ports is because it’s currently considerably cheaper to transport goods across the USA by road to the east coast rather than pay passage fees through the Panama Canal.
You know this from wendover productions?
It's not the fees it's that fact that 80% of our shipping ships don't even fit down the canal
Bidens bad policies are also partly to blame for the blockage. It is happening everywhere in the country. I used to work at a gas station in a very heavy trucking road, and like 90% of our lot was constantly empty, and any trucks sitting in the lot were just sitting there for weeks at a time.
@@SlayingSin 🤦♂️
@@SlayingSin Bro, this blockage issue has been going on long before Biden, and his policies have little impact on the overall situation. His lack of policies on the other hand, maybe but we have a democracy where policies can’t be passed
you're awesome dude
I am sorry I can't use Nebula - the server says "Encountered an error".
But nevermind, I liked this video for its good explanation of geopolitics, and the blunt statement that we are just using irreplaceable resources.
Whenever the US is threatened by a country, they build military bases around that country to contain it. Lol
Ed Zachary. The military knows what to do, our politicians screw it up every time.
You’re not wrong
