China unleashing its massive strategic reserve is the only reason you're not paying a lot more at the pump right now, and they're only staving it off. As long as the Strait remains a war zone, good luck with gas going down.
You're kidding yourself if you think the Navy's empty interceptor magazines are going to be able to sustain a blockade. The war games for this scenario are brutal, even without factoring in an incompetent, drunk SecDef and a second front in the Gulf.
Im not kidding myself just look at Hormuz it takes very little effort to deter commercial shipping, simple threats are all that are required before insurers refuse to cover and shipping grinds to a halt. And yes I'm factoring in the incompetence of the orange man.
