US may block Malacca Strait to contain China

[TheMatador]

Malacca Straits is not Chinese territory so we do not care but neighboring countries may object to USA troublemaking.

Yeah, setting blockade on one of the busiest sea lane in the world and attacking vessels from another sovereign country, a nuclear one at that. That will work out really well. Why not submit your idea to US congress and see if they will take it. Here is a hint, there is a reason the rest of the world is not called "US territory".

All conventional methods to try to contain/attack China are empty threats as long as China can do this.

now this thread will go nuclear,LOL..

well,some interesting facts from the news....

15-20 Marine Teams can effectively block Malacca Strait--- well,its true,because its a narrow strait(some parts are so narrow that 2 warships,and one doesn't need destroyers,some OPV would do the job,can choke it anytime).but to effectively choke all the sea routes,one will need to block Lombok Strait and Strait of Sunda as well.

and USA is seriously giving a thought to the possibility of such cases.

and US think in any case,it'd minimize conflict.

USA asked for base long time ago, BD refused. But recently BNP made deal with USA that if USA brings BNP in power then it will give base in saint martin lol

that is why USA was so much eager to see BNP in power lol

thats no good.way inside BOB.one side,its Indian Naval Base and another side,its Myanmar's.no good at all.Both India and Myanmar can track all the activities as all the bases positioned in a horse shoe formation.you guys need something like Coco Island,isolated and right next to Malacca Strait.

you do know we've base in Sagar Island,right??its a Coastal Battery and SAM Base,and that means tracking 24X7.same goes for Myanmar which has base in Sittwe.no good at all for USN.
