If one controls the sea around a peninsula, why would one have to grab it? This is not about military action, it is about positioning such that military action is not required, because your potential opponent is faced with such a high cost of action, that he lives with the cost of inaction. Noting that the longer the inaction, the higher the ultimate cost of action.
