Well, that's why I'm wondering: this is pure speculation on my part, but I've got a weird feeling that day might not be very far off.

ASAPI posted:I know very little about international/maritime law as it applies to this kind of situation. The maritime sector is weird because in most cases a ship is owned by a national of country A, flagged by country B, and crewed by countries C, D, and E (statistically those are the Philippines, India, and Ukraine as the big 3). So you get a diffusion of responsibility going on where all of those countries can either claim they care about the issue or alternately and more commonly, they tut-tut it while not feeling like they actually have to do anything about it. In this case I'd expect it to not be a big deal. US is weird because of the Jones act, if a ship is US-owned and US-flagged then it usually has US crew so it's more likely to get a response, which is one of the things that made the "Captain Phillips" story end differently than the other roughly 1000 seafarers kidnapped about the same time from non-US ships.

Naked Bear posted:Who would take over in Russia if Putin were ousted as a result of this fiasco? No one's really certain. Putin's been in power for so long that he's become somewhat synonymous with the Russian government, and his "likely successor" has changed several times. It probably wouldn't be anyone from an opposition party though, and based on history you can narrow down the list by looking at members of Putin's inner circle who aren't bald.

Right, but every country has that. poo poo I’m sure Russia has a significantly larger number that’s not even including all the fucks from Wagner. https://twitter.com/gonnahityou/status/1497295460066750465?s=21 Apparently it’s a Topol. I’m just hoping this is someone’s idea of a prank post and Russia really isn’t moving strategic missiles into Ukraine.

It's been hectic so I can't remember if I saw this here or somewhere else but anyways, but someone pointed out that the intelligence coming out of Russia has been pretty solid compared to where it was 5-8 years ago. The speculation is that much of it is HUMINT coming from people plugged into the higher echelons of the Russian Military and the oligarchy because they too, see how stupid this whole enterprise is. So I mean, with that in mind, it's not outlandish that someone might try to remove him.

Been talking about this in all three of my classes today. School is going to have me do a round table next week to help explain everything. Looking forward to it. One thing I keep bringing up is that 'ol Vlad ain't trying to bring back the USSR. He's trying to bring back the Tsar. Same system, filthy rich but only at the very top along with a strong church to control the population.

In this case I'd expect it to not be a big deal. To expand on this US flag is almost always 100% US crews. Theres also not a lot of commercial US ships in Azov. We had a tanker puttering around Isreal/Turkey but no real commercial runs. Any commercial US flag ship is almost certain to be carrying US military cargo, any US ship in that area is almost certain to be MSC. Just a very high chance you are attacking US military assets.
