Great Analysis. I admit, especially Trumps weird "I will blockade your blockade" almost seemed like a caricature of Thalassocracy.

(Interestingly, Sun Tzu also wrote that narrow straits need to be blockaded as soon as possible in a war. Currently a book by me on Sun Tzu is being prepared for release. When writing it, I had to laugh about how "current" that book seemed there. )
