Can't Iran be selective and only allow Chinese ships through?
- eliotho 2mo agoThis is a nice idea. I will build this a feature on the scenarios menu. And it would give an estimate of how much time doing this buys China under different configurations
- chairmansteve 2mo agoThe USA could block Chinese ships. Or maybe disable the loading jetties.
- eliotho 2mo agoThis works as the same feature reversed. Will think of a way of adding something like this
- DANmode 2mo agoAh yes, open war with a superpower. Why haven’t the USA done that already? It’s so obvious!
- elzbardico 2mo agoSometimes I think that's Trump endgame. Destroy world's economy, solve debt with massive dollar de-valuation, and uses its resource advantages to reindustrialize itself. Of course, that would fuck most of the world population, including the American Poor and The Middle Class. But I don't think this would weight too much on Trump's conscience.
- 3eb7988a1663 2mo agoI have been hoping China would force this issue. Send an oil tanker through and see if the US has the balls to stop it. Either the US does and everyone gets peeved or the US lets it float away and look incredibly impotent.
- kadoban 2mo agoChina can get what they want, a weakened USA, just by sitting back and doing nothing. There's probably no incentive to get involved more directly.
- elzbardico 2mo agoIt has been doing it for some time. Not full flows, but a significant number of ships have passed with a chinese destination. Probably that was the reason the US also instituted a blockage, but I don't think the US navy would shoot a chinese flagged super tanker.
