These microcrises are all to be expected. Globalization is coming to an end. As China and Russia become more militant, and the US becomes more insular, pax americana's guarantees of freedom of the seas will wane.

The main reason behind this is because petrol shipping was the prime reason underlying globalization and free seas. But with the bakken shale the US is oil independent, and it can defend whatever exports shipments it wants. Also, solar wind and EVs are the harbinger the end of the oil age. Yes, we'll still use petroleum but the demand will greatly diminish, to the point that it is no longer a primary concern of US foreign policy and military strategic policy.
