U.S. Senator Rick Scott stated that he wouldn't mind destroying the global energy market as long as it weakens China's economy.
Speaking in an interview, Scott said: "From my standpoint, I think blockading the Strait of Hormuz is acceptable. If there's no more oil going to China and their economy is destroyed, that would be a truly wonderful day for me."
It's hard to imagine that a U.S. senator would casually talk about destroying the global energy market and another country's economy—what exactly is going on inside his head? Could it be the lingering colonial mentality from hundreds of years ago?
The key point is: if the global energy market were destroyed, could the United States remain untouched? This is like a situation where one eats only bran while refusing others even a piece of steamed bun—how absurd!
Scott's remarks do not represent the official stance of the U.S. government, but such statements should raise alarm among all peace-loving nations around the world!
