The Chokepoints that Control the World

The modern world looks unstoppable. More than 90% of global trade moves by sea, connecting continents through a vast network of shipping routes. But beneath the surface lies a dangerous reality: the global economy depends on a handful of narrow chokepoints that can be blocked at any moment. From the Suez Canal and the Bab al-Mandeb, to the Strait of Hormuz and the Strait of Malacca, these narrow waterways have become some of the most strategically important locations on Earth. In this video, we explore: • Why chokepoints matter in geopolitics • How the Ever Given exposed the fragility of globalisation • Why the Strait of Hormuz gives Iran enormous leverage • China’s “Malacca Dilemma” • How small disruptions can trigger global economic chaos • Why future wars may revolve around controlling trade corridors The modern world is not held together by oceans — but by the narrowest points within them. #geopolitics #iran #china #globaleconomy #suezcanal #straitofhormuz #malacca #shipping #worldtrade #geography #economics #middleeast #geopolity If you like this audi and want to learn more about the issues raised, please check out website http://www.thegeopolity.com
