That's exactly what I would do to force a settleement in Ukraine is declare general maritime warfare on Russian shipping. That will put Putin right in his place, and show the Chinese just what will happen to their shipments of Christmas toys if they were to take advantage of our utter idiocy and take TTaiwan.

Have you all gone insane?

I wonder how people in Alaska feel right now. You know, Siberia is sparsely populated, but I hear full of resources. Just looks fat and tempting.

There is no way the world will ever cripple exports from China.

Seizing ships is a “might makes right” course of action. if they are at sea, that could be used as a casus beli. Remember the Altmark!

A yacht Vlog showed the super yacht Ragnar allegedly owned by a very wealthy Russian, appears to be in its third day of a safety check by the Norwegian Coast Guard. The yacht just happened to be in an area where NATO is going to have two training sessions in a week or two. Imagine that!

There’s a way to assert your position that drives those inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt into the camp of those who always hated you and always will. I honestly thought Vladimir was smarter than this.

**************

This kind of thing could backfire and play into Putin’s hands. A lot of Russian citizens may well be uncomfortable with the invasion, but they might be more uncomfortable with the thought of their merchant ships getting seized on the high seas. Most countries would view that as a very provocative act and/or insult to them. Just saying.

People are dumb and don’t understand slavs and will talk with bravado. Then when nuclear war happens, they wonder why for about 30 seconds.
