self-painted fantasy by a daydreamer, totally ignoring the true reality.  If a blockade ever happens, the US will totally collapse both financially and economically first, long before China can be suffocated, not mentioning that the US may not win the war militarily at all!  What's the odds that Russia is willing to join the blockade by the US and then see themselves finished off by the US next??  So many holes in its logic that you can drive a truck thru it.  It's really amazing to see that a journal like NI can publish an article with such a simplistic and idiotic view.  You can never stop being amazed in the world.
