"With oil price at >US$100 a barrel, every day tt te Strait remains closed despite 5 Arleigh-Burke class destroyers nearby is yet another dent in #US #navy’s capability to deter & defeat threats.. Peacetime freedom of navigation cruises thru Taiwan Strait & SCS in te past made it easy to maintain illusion of #PaxAmericana.. failure to reopen #Hormuz by force vs an adversary w no navy to speak of has shattered said illusion"🤦♂️
