Running a blockade is a risky proposition; it's not something that happens by accident.
A lot of these "neutral" countries either host US military bases, US companies, or are otherwise aligned generally with the US.
- lenerdenator 3mo agoAre they sailing under the flags of nations who are combatants in this war, yes or no?
- QuercusMax 3mo agoWhat difference does that make? A blockade is a blockade, and oil is fungible, so it doesn't matter whose flag it is. Run a blockade, get blown up. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Remember, the US blew up an UNARMED Iranian ship after what was basically a parade at sea in the Indian Ocean. The US started this, and keeps it going.

- lenerdenator 3mo agoThat's not answering the question. Are these ships being targeted sailing under the flag of a belligerent nation? Yes or no?
- QuercusMax 3mo agoWhat about all those fishing boats the US has been blowing up?
- lenerdenator 3mo agoAlso wrong. So maybe both sides should stop targeting civilian ships.
