And what's the real agenda?

Now, tinfoil hat is back on because I have a crazy hypothesis.

I cannot find any credible voices that think I'm right.

So full disclosure, this one's probably nutcase.

But what if China is timing their retaliation to coincide with the war in Iran?

Because by doing so, they're going to magnify the punishing effect of simply delaying shipments.

Because doing it now makes the painful effects of what they're doing spread to countries like Japan.

Japan is extremely vulnerable right now due to how much they rely on oil coming through the Strait of Hormuz.

39% of the ships that China has detained, even though they're Panamanian flagged, they're owned by Japanese.

OK, so Japan and China have a long standing beef and the Japanese prime minister, Takeichi, has been very publicly supportive of Trump.

So if you're gigabrained IQ and you're Chinese and you're looking at this and you're like, hmm.

I don't want to get involved in blowing things up in China.

That's a bad move.

As much as America annoys me, they really are powerful.

So instead of confronting them head on, I'm going to continue to be the voice of reason.

I'm going to do things, wield power diplomatically.

And so I'm just retaining ships.

What's the problem?

Not blowing them up.

just retaining them.
