Defeating Iran can wait. Cutting off China is the main US objective.
Thu 4:37 pm +00:00, 30 Apr 2026This strategy was planned decades ago – to cut off Asia from supply of energy. Unfortunately US strategy is working. A long blockade suits the US strategy well. Not just military. Economic. Energy. Food. Trade. Media. Politics. The US strategy is to dominate the world across all spectra. Military is only a part of the strategy.
What is China doing to cope? The Belt Road to move goods by land. Chinese gas and energy reserves are vast. China has moved over to alternative energies in a huge way, including nuclear power. Cross border relationship with Russia, expanding sales to China.
The US knows it will take time to redirect Russia’s energy exports to China, and the US thinks this is the last chance to seize control of the whole world, before China achieves a land based economy. Russia and China have prepared but have they done enough?
Multipolarism is an attempt to become independent of the US system, and displace it.
Meantime Ukraine i.e. NATO is firing missiles to knock out RUssian energy production and exports.
Report say that while President Trump weighs options for bombing Iran or attempting a ground invasion, he is committed to continuing the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports. But it’s not just about hurting Iran.. it’s also about attempting to strangle China. Brian Berletic, a geopolitical analyst and Host of The New Atlas, noted that in the same way the U.S. forced Europe to cut ties with Russia (and its cheap, plentiful resources) and to become dependent on U.S. energy, the Trump Admin now aims to cut off the flow of energy from the Middle East to Asia, in an effort to weaken China.
