Are they going to attempt to ram destroyers?
Isn’t that like an airliner turning off its transponder? Are there any applicable regulations at sea?
Who could foresee China being a bad player?
It was a joke. We all could...
It’s hell when your proxies don’t get off scot free.
Pretty stupid of the Chinese. This may hinder the tracking of the tanker ships at sea but the second they hit an Iranian port I guarantee that the US military knows about it. One analyst using satellite data could easily track the movements of at least 2 or three of these tankers.
We should start seizing these Chinese ships.
Are they just parking and powering down for the change over inspections? Were they not bought out?
Damn, I usually go there on weekends, now I better go tomorrow.
Any relation between COSCO and Chao (McConnell) shipping?
Same Cosco firm that was about to buy california’s largest port but Trump stopped. Wonder what got him to thinking....
We used to be that dumb...until Trump.
Methinks somebody is now repositioning satellites and other assets to get a “clear” picture on what is happening.

China finally found a seller hard up enough to accept Yuan as payment?
Just monitor the Iranian export terminals for loading, and track any tankers that might attempt cross-loading to another at sea (the old North Korean sanctions busting technique).
I think about 90% of Iranian oil goes out through Kharg Island.
Very interesting, if you ship cargo you better get your stuff off their ships before they sell it when they can’t unload. That is the next thing that will happen
they won’t be able to evade our satellites, though ...
