For the family.
Also it should be called the Bendy of Hormuz
Pfft. Why bother with this stupid sea travel bs? We have airplanes, just fly the oil out.
Nah. Planes are too expensive. Let's just have a giant oil canon that shoots oil in a huge fluid arc from the Middle East to markets.
Hot air balloon and then you can burn the oil as fuel.
Why is it called a Strait with all those curves?!
Because a long, long time ago some Roman dudes though it was a good idea to make that word mean "thin".

Don't even worry about canals and all that bs. Just go that way what are they gonna do about it?
Ahh, the Republican tactic
Looking up who controlled that peninsula, I found this lovely feature:
The UAE controls a lot of that peninsula, but the tip is controlled by Oman. Halfway down the peninsula is a roughly circular region, inland, that is controlled by Oman, but surrounded by territory controlled by UAE. Inside that circular region is an even smaller circular region controlled by UAE. I wonder how that happened.
Kind of like this:
Borders are stupid.
Ah yes, the daylight savings donut. The most confusing bite of desert you'll ever have

These are called Exclaves and there's way more of them than you might think. I think this isn't the only double Exclaves either. There are so many border fuckery things around the world, even in countries you might not expect, I want to make a YouTube video on them, I'm obsessed with finding them on google maps.
Take a look at the border of Nederland and België for an extreme example:
Wow, I knew the border wasn't a straight line, but I didn't realize quite how fractal it was. It's like they interviewed each household and decided on a case-by-case basis who was Belgian and who was Dutch.
If you look closely it's not even house by house. Much of it is just random fields or parts of fields. Maybe houses stood there decades or centuries earlier when the borders were drawn up, IDK

Fun little fact, several underground detonations were carried out in gas fields as an early attempt at fracking. The result was a giant cavity full of radioactively contaminated methane, that didn't even link up to the other two giant cavities full of radioactively contaminated methane.
Overall, massive failure all around. But the fun fact is that areas where those nuclear fracking tests occurred were the same areas where the first mysterious cattle mutilations were reported.
As a further note, local farmers, ranchers, and police were not told about the fracking tests, or the radioactive methane below their feet. Also, the cattle that were mutilated were missing lymph nodes, which could theoretically be tested in a lab for certain radiation based cancers.
Finally, the guy who did the initial investigations on the mutilations was best friends with a member of Air Force Office of Special Investigations who had been actively lying to a very smart yet gullible man, telling him that the strange aircraft and mysterious signals he was getting from the Air Force base across the street was in fact, aliens and not super classified aircraft and weapon systems tests.
I had heard of cow mutilations as part of tracking prion diseases but this is an interesting version

It tells the whole story, and yeah, some of the loudest voices in the UFO movement, were literally paid by the US government to lie, saying that top secret weapons tests were actually aliens.

It also funnels all the traffic into an even narrower pass that can be easily blocked by a bad actor
Why would Carrot Top want to block traffic?

No need for that when you finally take down Putin. In less than 2 years from now, Vladimir Putin will be history.
Why not tunnel?

(not that this will ever make it out of bureaucratic hell)
The line he drew is 200km
Swiss: hold my beer
Just imagine the Ever Given floats into that tunnel.
stay in territorial waters. same effect with no digging. zealots going to attack regardless
Its possible but will be super expensive
Now if you look at my proposal:
At 50m elevation change it is inline with the Panama Canal or the Canal of Corinth and a length below 600km it should be easy doable.
Now you need to balance the cost of building that vs bombing the shit out of Iran. Manly men like Hegseth know the answer!
Ok, but hear me out: We drop the bombs all along this line instead! Iirc Alaska was planning (or did?) this with nukes 💀
