Everyone of those sea lanes is a trade route that benefits the US.  
And it has been so since before the First Barbary War (1801–1805).

The Soviets are gone, but NATO patrols the border at the behest and under the control of the USA.  And the USA demands NATO fight any non European war the US wants to fight - as in the invasion of Afghanistan and the most recent destruction of Libya.

Snidely demand gratitude for enriching yourselves and recklessly endangering life on the planet.  

Fire and Fury guy is just the most ridiculous of your war loving Presidents.
