Announcing the Global Chokepoints Series

Every world-altering event has a geography.

The oil embargo of 1973 happened because of a waterway. The collapse of Soviet logistics happened because of a canal. The energy shock of 2026 is happening because of a strait 21 miles wide at its narrowest point.

Power does not flow evenly across the surface of the earth. It flows through specific corridors — waterways, transit lanes, undersea cables, satellite orbital paths — that are narrow enough to control and consequential enough to weaponize.

That understanding is what the Global Chokepoints Series was built to deliver.

Why This Series, Why Now

The idea came from a simple observation: the most consequential geopolitical dynamics of our era are almost entirely invisible to general audiences.

People know there is tension with Iran. They do not know that 20 percent of the world's oil moves through a 21-mile strait that Iran can close in hours.

People know there is competition with China. They do not know that the semiconductor foundries in Taiwan represent the single most concentrated point of technological leverage in human history.

The gap between what is happening and what is understood is enormous. The Global Chokepoints Series was built to close that gap — one chokepoint at a time.

The Architecture of the Series

Each volume is built around a single strategic chokepoint. The analysis moves through history, current dynamics, military and economic implications, and forward-looking scenarios.

The current catalog:

• Hormuz — the energy chokepoint that controls 20 percent of the world's oil supply.
• Strait on Fire — the extended analysis of the 2026 Hormuz crisis and the nine-day closure.
• The Taiwan Tripwire — the semiconductor chokepoint and the closing timeline for a potential Chinese move.
• The Greenland Chokepoint — Arctic sovereignty and the strategic competition opening as the ice recedes.
• The Cislunar Race — the chokepoint that is not on Earth. The competition for cislunar space.

The Faith Dimension

The Global Chokepoints Series is geopolitical analysis. But it is written from a conviction that secular analysis alone is insufficient.

Nations are not accidents. History is not random. The chokepoints that concentrate global power are not outside the awareness of the God who set the boundaries of nations.

The watchman does not choose what to see. He sees what is there and speaks what is true.

What Is Coming

The Black Sea. The South China Sea. The Panama Canal. The undersea cable networks that carry 95 percent of international internet traffic.

Each of these deserves the same rigorous, accessible, faith-informed treatment. The series will get there.

For now — start with Hormuz. That is where the fire is.
