    Because Navy ships patrol those routes. Remove that, and the pirates would be able to expand.

        The whole idea is to not let things get to that point.

        It’s also important to recognize, the US withdrawing internationally (and wasting tons of money we’ve already spent, mind you) doesn’t mean places become a harmonious area. Another country will replace it.

        Given how much international water China already claims is actually Chinese territory, and their ships harassing and sinking civilian fishing vessels, I would rather stay with the devil i know.
