Dependence not just commerce. Commerce is fine.
But we import just about everything except food. It's good that we do export food, everyone needs that. It's bad that we crippled our domestic manufacturing capabilities and handed it over to the Red Chinese. Or to Taiwan, same difference these days.
Fragile supply lines are stupid. Self reliance is not.
I'm sure about it. I've seen them strap bomb loaded backpacks onto little kids, and then tell them if they go hug the Americans that we'll give them candy.
You can never convince me that they care about their own lives.
Besides that, the answer to your question is simple. Their armament can reach shipping in the straights, with incredible cost effectiveness. Even if you invent some kind of high tech thingedy thing that can somehow snipe their rocket infantry before they fire, they don't care. All you've done is kill Omar and maybe destroy one rocket. They have a million more rockets and a million more Omars.
Turns out globalism isn't economically viable.
Not Navy but Army.
It's cost effectiveness, combined with the fact that muslims don't care about their own lives.
It costs a tiny fraction to attack of what it costs to defend and counter attack. The Navy's battle doctrine assumes air superiority, but worse assumes infinite resources.
Honestly? Third person games.
Most first person games tend towards being twitchy and that's just not my style. Plus I like to play dress up in games, I enjoy seeing my character.
If I had to choose my favorite first person game is Phasmophobia.
Your misbegotten race isn't even worthy to breed among yourselves.
