    Oil through the strait only accounts for 20%. This just breaks the monopoly of all avenues being US aligned. There’s other ways to buy oil.

        I think downvoting is silly idky you’re getting downvoted, while I don’t agree with you I think it’s still constructive to have this conversation.

        I already wrote another comment just now so I hope you read what I wrote, but I’ll try to get my point across differently again here.

        If two people in a group started beating me up, I would try to get my hospital bills paid for by them. If the rest of the people in that group cheered them on while they put me in the hospital, I would seek payment for the damages committed by their friends.

        China / Malaysia / Philippines / Spain don’t pay the tolls because they aren’t materially supporting the aggression, I would hope the brits have to pay some sort of reparations for their support thus far.
