And all single threads that never turn into ropes also begin life as a single thread.

I think you're just seeing what you want to see here, Dope.

I think you're consistently missing the larger picture. We can agree to disagree.

This isn't a rope around their nuts. It will have a trivial effect on their overall oil costs and availability. It's barely a paper cut.

Getting rid of the ghost ships isn't nothing.
Adding 15-20% cost to 4.5% of China's oil imports isn't nothing.
Getting rid of a base of operations for terrorists and bad actors in the Southern Hemisphere isn't nothing.
Putting China's oil square in the normal sea lanes (i.e. also under our control) isn't nothing.

And so on and so forth. We seem to fundamentally disagree on China and the steps we need to take to get ready for what's coming. That's fine. Doing Nothing isn't an option, but it's certainly an opinion you can hold.
