 The Contrast Struggle at Sea

 Constant struggle at Sea attacking and protecting shipping the large-scale land Warfare and Ariel pomberg from Bergman we are currently seeing in Ukraine is fortunately rare but the other part of the current war attack on shipping is commonplace this is because the importance of shipping makes a makes it a valuable flavor almost all International Trade close by sea the global Highway shipping and rules Russo Ukrainian were before the war Ukraine moved over 70 percent of its exports by sea district has entirely stopped for Russian attacks on shipping in the Black Sea and the U.S I'm sorry and the use of the of sea mines have got Ukraine from the from the oceans when the EU is suggested opening land routes in compensation Ukraine's Deputy economy minister tarasque replied that we cannot answer the same volume of export as sphere support by other means of transportation the only way to answer proper reinstallment of export is to unplug see part this is the only solution Kaka was saying the obvious third for almost any country including Ukraine with its first grain expert rods are simply incapable of replacing the sea for almost all international trade even even if they can't root or transport is much more expensive than sea transport destroying much or all of the profit to be made from trade we cannot predict their wider effect of the blockage of Ukraine in the short term the war in Ukraine is so much more immediate issue Wars however have a habit of on of going on longer than expected we may find that the loss of experts and earnings for me for Ukraine are a popular are a problem we may also find there are unwanted effects on their countries that used to receive Ukraine Grant or by Price raises more generally similar shift so similar shift helped to trigger the Arab Spring.

 Navy's act every day to obstruct or protect shipping Ukraine is just one's example of attacks on shipping and action to protect it from 2019 until 22 we saw Russia inter intermittently stopped traffic to Ukrainian port on the sea of azov the Saudi light Coalition is alleged to have imposed a party partial blockage of Yemen in response to how these are alleged to have mounted over 20 Maritime attacks including on vessels working for the word for food program or carrying oil ship scaring weapon from North Korea to conflict around the world were intercepted by Egypt and other countries and Greece intercepted official taking weapons to rebels in Libya Israel has been accused of having attacked over a dozen Iranian ships carrying oil and weapons to Lebanon and Syria while Iran has been accused of attacking Israelis ships there is also an ongoing Israeli blockage of Gaza and then there are over a hundred incidents of piracy in the South China Sea a year as well as on current period and terrorist attack in The Cove of green Air the celibacy and all elsewhere being partially countered by local forces breathing is not immune from this in 2019 the failure of Royal Navy free kid to be in two places at the same time like the Iranian sculpture the British flag tanker Stena Imperial after the Royal Marion says the Ascension piece busting Iranian tanker atrianderia and keep router abstracting shipping and mature.

 World China and Taiwan shipping would be vital in any world over this Chinese Swiss to capture Taiwan Chinese import over 70 percent of its oil and much of its food most of its necessary import come through the markets right between Valencia and India I'm sorry Malaysia and Indonesia action there took out of Chinese shipping would have a serious and immediate effect who gentle a former Chinese president described this Chinese problem as the Malacca dilemma the Chinese build Android initiative costing perhaps a trillion dollars is in large part an effort to solve the Malacca dilemma by building Railways across Central Asia to Ports such as quarter in Pakistan which are outside the South China Sea the creation of a Chinese naval base in G-Body with a Jetta large enough for an edge for an aircraft carrier is part of this scheme aiming to provide protection for shipping in the Indian Ocean the importance of sea power is forcing the Chinese to spend lots of money they could use elsewhere looking at it a different way the expansion in Chinese oil storage capacity is a is as important an indicator of their Readiness to invite Taiwan as their construction of landing craft and then another possible model for action against shipping in Conflict including against countries other than China is the Aaron and Iraq war in the 1980s in which both sides try to destroy the others economy by attacking in its shipping ports can also be attacked the Russian Landing to capture the court churchian part of potty in to 2014 attack in Libya by different groups in 2016 and 2019 and two I like LH Israeli attack on Latakia in Syria in 2021 and why is the obstruction or protection of shipping often ignored why are these interceptions of shipping so little known perhaps there is an element of sea planets or to have moved out of the centers of our Seaside cities and we now fly to travel areas or on holiday there rather than going by sea as civilians will no longer regular clearly see the ships that make the global economy work and which move the weapons and supplies need forward never thinker might also take some of the flame for not explaining the issue clearly in particular the Second World War battle of this Atlantic is too often used as an example there are many useful points one can draw from the the campaign but to the United States you need near that it can seem that we we are fixating on something it gets old.
