US Blockade on Iran (& China) Continues: As Does March to War with China in the Asia-Pacific

About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing US blockade on Iran and its implications for global energy markets and tensions with China in the Asia-Pacific region.

- The US continues implementing its blockade on Iran, not to "topple Iran" or "open the Strait of Hormuz," but to perpetuate the conflict and the incremental, managed damage it is doing to energy markets and specifically Asia who is dependent on Middle Eastern energy exports; - The US is performing a controlled demolition of part of the global economy in the same manner it imploded Europe's economy and its dependence on Russian energy, a process that has taken years to implement and is still ongoing; - All while the US feigns seeking peace with Iran and Russia, it continues preparing its proxies in the Asia-Pacific for war with China; References: BBC - How US Marines are being reshaped for China threat (2023): https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64294915 USNI - UPDATED: Tripoli ARG, 31st MEU Transit Malacca Strait En Route to the Middle East (March 18, 2026): https://news.usni.org/2026/03/18/3-ship-tripoli-arg-31st-meu-transit-malacca-strait-en-route-to-the-middle-east Marine Times - US Marines board and redirect Iranian-flagged tanker amid ongoing blockade (March 21, 2026)…
