World War II really began as a series of regional wars that accumulated like rainwater in different pools and eventually spilled into one another and became one in the same war.

And I think we're witnessing a similar dynamic today.

So the larger picture here is that the war in Africa or Europe or Asia or Russia were various theaters of the same

war and the second war. After a stream of attacks from the Iranian proxy, the Huti rebels in Yemen, on global commercial

shipping, a number of major shipping companies have stopped using the Red Sea shipping

route.

This route links the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean via the

Suez Canal. And shipping through this route accounts for approximately 15 to 20 percent of

global shipping traffic, which means it has enormous implications for the global

economy for global markets and these disruptions are being caused by Iran via one of its

proxies now the US response to the Huti's attacks will for now be an

escort mission escorting those ships making it harder for there to be direct

attacks on them from the Huti rebels. This decision was announced by the

Biden administration by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin when he was in the

Middle East last week. The escort mission called Prosperity Guardian who will be run under the combined

Task Force 153 an existing multinational maritime security mission that has

been in place for some time. Now confirmed members of this new operation

of Prosperity Guardian will include the United States, the UK, France, Italy and

a number of other European nations. The only Middle East participant that

we know of is Bahrain. It sounds like a number of Middle East countries, specifically

Arab countries, are involved, but they have chosen to remain anonymous

lest they escalate their own tensions with Iran.
