How about now?

Okay, this is what NATO looks like.

And you can look at the United States with our western and eastern coasts that are unencumbered.

You wouldn't be able to blockade those.

The two narrow seas are the Sea of Labrador and the Caribbean.

But basically, hard to imagine that the United States Navy wouldn't be able to deploy in wartime.

And same thing true on the big peninsula of Europe.

Yeah, I get it.

Turkey may not be able to deploy, but Spain, France, and Norway, they're these unencumbered coastlines.

They'll probably get their navies out.

Eurasia is a completely different story.

This is where China and Russia live.

No one's done this to them.

This is just the way it is.

It's all of these narrow seas that become kill zones in wartime.

I've described it to you how it works.

And I get it, there's the Arctic up there, but there's no economic activity or population.

So being able to run things in the Arctic doesn't do you very good, do you very much good.

So nature naturally contains both Russia and China.

It's just the way it is.
