An act of war does not obligate country going to war. And an act of war is not required to start a war. Basically, wars start when in nation’s interest and can spin a reason. One issue with cargo ships being attacked is that it is only act of war against the flag nation. The three big flag nations have no navies. I wonder if we’ll see more ships registered in countries with navies. The other complication is that the attackers are Houti rebels. The US doesn’t want to get involved in that conflict cause they have held off Yemen government and Saudi Arabia for years.
