DO U.S. ORDERS TRANSLATE INTO INTERNATIONAL LAW?
LOOKING FOR THE DEFINNG MOMENT FOR WW3
One must wonder were the limits are to the U.S. control of the commerce of the world? We all understand that the U.S. has the right to refuse to do business with anyone they don't approve. We understand that tariffs can be placed on anyone that the U.S. feels it wants to punish. Now it seems if countries just find other customers or trading partners we believe we can also damage their trading partners through tariff's and other economic warfare, that is possible, but should expect economic retaliation.
Now since the use of an embargo or blockade of Venezuela and Cuba, of course under the pretext of obeying international law, that now seems to be manufactured unilaterally by the U.S., we are seeing an attempt to expand the use of blockades and embargos around the world. No one questions that he U.S. has the most powerful Navy in the world. So far, no one has challenged this Navy since WW2. If the U.S believes that it can blockade advanced powers on the world stage without pushback, it has indeed gone down the path of delusional overreach.
It appears that the only nation that is willing to go down the path of WW3 is the United States. We will undoubtedly see either armed commercial vessels that will challenge being taken control of or escorted vessels in the near future. It is very likely that there will very well be an organized effort to preserve the right of navigation around the world. If this attempt to control commerce around the world continues there will be a confrontation in the near future. A confrontation that may be impetus to finally move this economic warfare to the real deal.
The danger is growing by the day and when you put others in a existential threatening position, war will soon follow.

I don’t understand enough about this to have a firm decision one way or another. But, it is my understanding it is Venezuelan oil sales, not all waterway commerce, that is being controlled by the United States. Our nation has taken over sales of that specific oil. That much I can agree with. Along with this objective I would expect ships heading to the Middle East to be boarded for inspection.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s going on with Cuba, I have no idea. It isn’t America that is trying to shut down the entry ways to the Middle East region, is it? We still have some friendly nations there.
The U.s. seized a Russian ship in the north Atlantic and the Baltic nations are proposing blockading ships from Russia. The U.s just seized a ship in the Indian ocean traveling to China. There have been at least a half dozen sabotage attacks on Russian oil ships in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. The U.s has unilaterally banned the export of oil from Iran and with the present focus is likely to attempt an embargo of oil out of Iran. It will inevitably lead to war for sure with Iran and likely with Russian and China.
ReplyDeleteThe U.S. is attempting to control the flow of resources to and from those they oppose. It is an act of WAR. plain and simple.
We are pretty much on our own to know what’s truly going on in global politics. You and I do not have first hand knowledge, only what we are fed by the media.
ReplyDeleteThis is a time in our history when nearly everyone, every agency and group, lies. Propaganda is our guide. I don’t need to look much further than the daily Morning Call pages filled with reprinted, deceptive junk.
My guess is none of the major players want to see a nuclear incident. One that would only bring down even more nuclear destruction. Such a condition brought here won’t be like WW2. Then, the war pigs in our Congress and corporate world could take comfort and feel safe knowing they were an ocean away from the carnage.
With an expanding nuclear exchange there is NO safe haven. Everyone will suffer, including the elites, if only through long periods of the power grid going down, severe infrastructure damages, food and water shortages, etc. Running off to your mountain cabin in the woods would only delay the hurt.
To me, the real threats of such a stupid move come from backward nations controlled by rulers who believe it’s OK to kill indiscriminately in order to spread their (warped) religion. Iran comes to mind.
