Honestly I think it is more a move against europe. China can adjust to a sea blockade by using over land routes, protecting sea convoys, lowering their exports, and rejiggering their oil usage.

Europe has no plans and no resources other than a bunch of people. I think the plan is for usa to deprive them of their energy and convince them to go take West Asia and Africa with human wave attacks. Remember hegseth’s speech to europe? They want another crusade, just as hamfisted and poorly planned as the last ones, and this time they want it to go all the way to South Africa so elon can go back to slave labor emerald mining.

usa learned that the best way to be king is to make everyone else fight eachother. They don’t want to get in a confrontation with China. They want to make confrontations between everyone that pull China and Russia into them.
