#3   as China strengthens its grip on the Horn the world’s oil will be up for grabs.

There appear to be some missing steps in that analysis.

#1  This sort of actions and statements are not necessary and futile, and probably going to fuel anti American sentiments in the Horn of Africa
Because the continuous use of European trained and educated state department and associate ‘’think tanks’’ this will be another blunder in USA foreign policies that China, Russia and Iran going to capitalize on.. China has various times directly exploited local conflicts to spur external solutions that bring it more control and power and thus monopolizing Africa’s rich natural resources.
China need a strong foothold in the Horn of Africa is a great game of redrawn Middle Eastern Alliances, China and its Iranian Allies will be sitting on one of the most important pressure points for the region. Saudi Arabia will be in direct line of fire, but more importantly, as China strengthens its grip on the Horn the world’s oil will be up for grabs. Essentially, between the South China Sea and the Red Sea, the CCP will be in near control of the most important shipping lanes in the world.
