No One Has Really Grokked How Big The Suez\/Houthi Gambit Is<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

We\u2019ve had a lot of foreshadowing of the Suez Canal being a major hotspot for conflict over the past couple of years. Think back to the\u00a0Evergreen beaching itself in the canal in 2021.\u00a0<\/a>Everyone is just now waking up to the idea that global shipping is at risk here.<\/p>\n

This Twitter thread (by a self-professed moron who, IMO, seems to have a good grasp on things) is representative of the level of analysis being put forth by people still in love with the US Navy\u2019s ability to force project around the world. He\u2019s just waking up to the importance of this situation but he hasn\u2019t picked up on the nuance of it from the other side of the battlefield.<\/p>\n
