I hope everyone cools off and finds a better solution. That's said, blocking both straits hurts Africa, China, Europe, and others, but the US is much less impacted. Why aren't they using tactics that'll challenge the US?

The US is very obviously going to be impacted when the economies of their vassals start crashing because the US economy is highly dependent on trade. Furthermore, everybody knows this was an unprovoked war of aggression by the US, and that's already souring relations between the US and the rest of the world.

Oil can flow if traded in Yuan, it's an attack on the petrodollar.
