Re what you noted, I fear that even if you are correct you would still be wrong, simply because history is not a moment but a flow of moments.
By this post I aim to show you the flow.
(1) First the set up context in a place further away from Asia but relevant, because just as history is a complete set of flow of moments, geography, also lovely, a a continuum, so, let us put our gaze to the Mediterranean
Israel is moving towards a total naval blockade from all sides
The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard said:
"They will soon face the closure of the Mediterranean Sea, the Strait of Gibraltar and other waterways"
... particular quote from the X post, that <<The port of Eliat, which lies on the Red Sea, is already completely blocked. Those ships that continued to cooperate with Israel bypass Africa and arrive at Israel's shores in the Mediterranean via Gibraltar. The question is how can these ships be blocked?>>
Sea mines, with Houthis characteristics, my guess, lots and lots of sea mines.
But no, the USA mines shall not work to save the renegade separatists of Taiwan, China, Republic of, because USA need the sea lanes open, to keep the chips flowing as the folks of Dune needed to keep the spice flowing, and besides do not make the fatal error of believing Team USA shall get into a fight against the Chinese on Chinese territory over Chinese territorial integrity unless wish to see Alaska go independent and Hawaii go free. To wit Ukraine currently being rug-pulled. Comrade Zelensky trusted the wrong folks I fear even as I remain agnostic. It is how events would go when it is time to go go go. As to when go go go, up to China China China.
China Has 100,000 Naval Mines to Sink the U.S. Navy in a WarA less well-known tactic in China’s toolbox is the use of undersea mines (perhaps as many as 100,000) to keep th...
B-52s Would Be Ideal for Laying Mines in the Taiwan StraitB-52s could help deter or hinder a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
The neocon libtards, cretinous spinners that they are have a hard time spinning a tale supporting actual invasion of China that would trigger Article 2 of the Sino-Korea (people’s democratic) Treaty requiring automatic mutual defense to kick in, especially as the Putin so generously equipping Korea, North, with capabilities and soon capacities to scratch itches near and far, and extremely far.
Taunting Kim the Fat might be fun but not so fun when past Go.
No. More sanctions against the Putin for proliferation likely shall do zilch. Over use of antibiotics never a good idea.
No, way too dangerous for any of Washington DC’s supposed allies to get involved given possibilities of escalation and of rug-pull.
The Houthis in effect tee-ed up testing-123 of de-Neocon-fication of Team USA from the far periphery, newly denuded of Saudi alliance, and situation enhanced by BRICS+ / BRI-fication of Saudi-Persia; mega drama, front role seat to history.
Europe totally F-ed eyes wide open. Funny that, threatening the Putin with turning the Baltic into a lake, Finland got accidentally sliced by a HK ship of the cabling, and now face a Mediterranean about to be transformed into bathtub.
Ukraine got into the wrong bed, and … well … got F-ed by all the boyz. Possibly. Arguably. Agnostic.
The trouble with neolibtardcons is that they understand neither the nuances of history nor appreciate the fractal beauty of mathematics.
Sending aircraft carriers to engage with a land war against continentals with longer reaching artillery - the TV program HeeHaw comes to mind
Of course should sea mines be used then all shipping stop, but de-mine boats would be needed in industrial quantities on most routes except at least the Arctic route - where have I heard of that term, ‘industrial quantities’ recently?
Never mind, but a heads up, Marty’s latest is funny
Speaking of industrial anything, more funnies, next post, a break, and then back to industrial everything
