What Connects US-Europe Stand Down, Access to Indonesian Airspace, & the US Blockade on Iran?
- The US is talking about drawing down US troops in Europe - not because a division between the US and Europe - but a division of labor imposed on Europe by the US;- The US seeks access to Indonesian airspace specifically to begin threatening the Strait of Malacca in the same manner it has already done to the Strait of Hormuz - expanding its global energy blockade on China;
- The ongoing US blockade on Iran is not absolute as claimed by the US government, but also not non-existent as claimed by others. It is imposing costs on Iran and its trading partner China and compounding a growing energy crisis the US itself is eagerly exploiting across Asia;
