Have any of you considered that cutting off the Panama Canal means cutting off not only commerce/goods from each coast, BUT it also cuts off our alleys from helping us if there is an attack. Note a transit from the U.S. Gulf Coast through the Panama Canal to Japan is 20 days vs. 34 days. Voyage time to South Korea, China, and Taiwan is reduced by transiting through the Panama Canal.

That means the CCP on our northern and southern borders can come in and the ships on both our coasts and down in the Caribbean, Cuba, Jamacia, etc. are free to come into the US.
Besides the markets, watch the blockage of the Panama Canal. It will hurt the food supplies.
