Agreed.
Trump is using the Iran war oil crisis against China while maintaining plausible deniability.
The real target of this blockade IS China.
Almost 40% of all the oil that comes through the Straight of Hormuz goes to China.
That's ~50% of China's total crude oil imports and ~35% of their entire daily oil consumption.
It's a big big deal.
If the United States were suddenly put in a similar, strategically alarming position POTUS has effectively just put China in with this blockade, we would absolutely go to war.
