Yes, but it also uses millions of barrels every day and I think their reserves would last over a month if imports stopped. I think nearly half of their imports come through the straits. So - China should be worried about the Straits, IMO

FLAWED STRATEGY?

1. Launch a surprise attack
2. Destroy the enemy's ability to strike back in a single blow
3. Pull back.
4. Think that the enemy will surrender and seek peace

China gets its oil from the straits. Why would they block it?

Agree 100%. While we are still attached, this is vital. OTOH, should we fail, and if the Neo-Nazi regime succeeds, the best for CA is leaving. We can do both - work to defeat oppression while we have plan B. But I'm not optimistic about change - I can't stop thinking about Germany 1933.

Thanks. I am embarrassed by the current government and the trouble it causes for us and other nations. I fear the US has turned a corner, and California needs to stay on the original path. Who knows, some states that border on your nation may wish to join you folks.

Yes, they are different from the rest of us. That's one reason why California seeks to become its own independent nation. Visit votecnp.org

It's just another reason why California must seek independence from this oppressive regime, just as the founders did 250 years ago. votecnp.org

If it were likely, then you're right. The US has been trending this way for some time now. Hopefully, other states would join us (e.g., OR, WA, HI) - maybe even Baja - and we would become the new beacon for the world, as the US once was. Please read myu posts to see just how different we are.

The only way to get free from, the oppressive Neo-Nazi regime is for Caolifornia to become an independent nation. Want to learn more? Visit votecnp.org

Hi. You may wish to get acquainted with the California Independence movement. We are a model that CT should look at. Most of New England shares with CA the disdain for the oppressive regime. Visit votecnp.org
