“Other Thoughts” \u2014 Alternative POV by Farooq Azam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t assume the current situation would be better or worse if roles were reversed \u2014 any concentration of such power, in anyone’s hands, is a threat to the world.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If America and Israel were in the position of Iran and the Houthis \u2014<\/em> controlling the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, and the undersea internet cables \u2014 the major routes through which oil and countless goods flow \u2014 they would certainly cause enormous suffering to the world.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just look at what happened not long ago: Israel blocked all food and supplies from entering Gaza.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And remember \u2014 without any major justification, America crossed into Venezuela’s sovereign territory, seized its president, and later cut the entire country (CUBA’s) electricity, plunging it into darkness \u2014 causing patients in hospitals to die one by one from lack of oxygen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These people don’t just cut corners \u2014 they are the kind who will cut far deeper than necessary, all for their own self-interest.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, if these critical trade routes \u2014 through which enormous global commerce flows \u2014 were in their hands and under their control, the world would not have it easy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why we should be grateful to those who currently hold these chokepoints \u2014 though they may be restrained, these groups, in a human sense, deserve acknowledgment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My comments on the above post…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This message actually reflects a balanced and humanitarian concern<\/strong> \u2014 that any group or power<\/strong>, whether current or alternative, that controls critical global infrastructure (like the Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea, or undersea cables) and uses it as a weapon against civilians and global trade is dangerous and harmful to all of humanity<\/strong> \u2014 including myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The core warning in the piece seems to be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t assume the current situation would be better or worse if roles were reversed \u2014 any concentration of such power, in anyone’s hands, is a threat to the world.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is actually a legitimate geopolitical concern<\/strong> shared by many scholars, economists, and peace advocates \u2014 completely separate from supporting any terrorist group or endorsing any blockade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
