Who ensures a Ship with South Korean flag which does not a solid Navy reaches its destination ? I understand the analogy of Container being an innovative idea.

Who ensures a Ship with South Korean flag which does not a solid Navy reaches its destination ?
I understand the analogy of Container being an innovative idea. With out calm seas under-written by US Navy, its not so great.
Without US Navy and its 10 carriers, we will be back to 19th century mercantilism and how much fun colonialism which is its off-shoot has been.
- pofilat 8y agoHow can you say that the "military" get credit for preventing conflicts while at the same time not get blame for being the muscle of colonial oppression.
- sremani 8y agoWhich Colonial Oppression you are talking vis-a-vis Post World War II US Navy ?
- snowwrestler 8y agoYou're acting like shipping never worked before 1950. Many thanks to the U.S. Navy for what they do today, but they did not invent the concept of safe passage. Shipping containers have made an impact in the efficiency of shipping, not the existence of shipping.
- sremani 8y agoThe Shipping Container comment was a response to the other poster. I understand safe passage.. Safe Passage does not mean that Fifth fleet sits in the Persian Gulf round the fucking clock! I will not engage in word play, I am not good at it, and it comes from an agenda of being cute or clever.
- snowwrestler 8y agoThe Fifth Fleet did not take up residence in the Persian Gulf until 1995. The Suez Canal had been passing traffic for 120 years by then. You are exaggerating the degree to which international shipping depends on the US Navy.
