Key Notes
He says American control of global choke points and blockade capacity makes the color-revolution and economic-strangulation playbooks usable against countries that oppose America, especially China.
He says U.S. strategy no longer needs to control the whole ocean; it only needs the key choke points that make trade depend on American generosity.
Jiang says the U.S. plan is to create conflict among China and Japan, Iran/Israel/GCC, and Europe/Russia so America can control resources through key choke points.
He says America will lose the Iran war but does not need to defeat Iran if Iran remains in chaos and helps keep choke points under American control.
Jiang says America's attempt to control China's trade routes is obvious to other countries, but U.S. blue-water naval dominance means they cannot immediately stop it.
