I’ve been waiting for China to do something.

A year+ ago I learned the Strait of Hormuz existed from a video about China and Taiwan. In that video they claimed that if China were to do something dramatic like invade Taiwan, the US could retaliate by using its naval might to close to Strait of Hormuz.

China produces little oil and relies on imports for something like 80%. And most of that comes through the Strait of Hormuz. With that closed, China begins ticking through their reserves, which last something like 90 days.

So closing the Strait was always a card the US could play against China, a formidable opponent to the US (as Trump sees the world anyway).

Now the US has started a bizarre war against Iran with unclear goals. But surprise surprise, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz. So basically the US got one of China’s own partners, Iran, to put a chokehold on China.

It’s just a matter of time before China responds.

Do we want World War 3? Because this seems like how we get World War 3.
