China stops sales of Liquified Natural Gas to ALL of Europe with the pretext of "needing to save some for themselves" while funding the Russian war machine by keeping them afloat buying their LNG and Oil.

Saudi Arabia and OPEC+ slashing output just to hurt America and the Europeans and also to help fund the Russians

Iran giving out thousands of kamikaze drones to the Putin regime which are wreaking havoc across Ukraines infrastructure right now. Its so bad that Israel is getting involved and calling for sanctions on Iran.

North Korea actively restarting nuclear tests in the middle of all of this and launching ICBMS OVER the sovereign territory of Japan

People keep trying to play diplomacy with these other rogue states like we could bring them to heel against Putin, the lines BEEN drawn and only the West doesnt seem to see it...

My understanding is that US Warboats were escorting supplies to the UK. Germany wasn’t having that, which lead to the Declaration.

Kind of parallel to what’s going on here. Except Russia isn’t willing to declare anything just yet.


The Battle of the Atlantic pitted U-boats and other warships of the German Kriegsmarine (Navy) and aircraft of the Luftwaffe (Air Force) against the Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Navy, United States Navy, and Allied merchant shipping. Convoys, coming mainly from North America and predominantly going to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, were protected for the most part by the British and Canadian navies and air forces. These forces were aided by ships and aircraft of the United States beginning September 13, 1941.[13]


Battle of the Atlantic - Wikipedia

:manny:

Could be either way, looks we started doing convoy duty in September 41' and Pearl Harbor and Germany declaring war happened in December 41'

some of that's far beyond just this ukraine event and i don't we should give stuff more credit than its due

opec started playing this game right before covid hit, china's economy vs everybody has been the theme for a minute too, nk has been popping off as soon as biden didn't give them the attention trump did after the meetings, iran is butthurt because the US just put a foot on their neck and they want to do whatever they can to get their face back after the standoff over iraq ended with them shooting down a civilian plane and embarrassing themselves

israel can see iran getting too much rain and call for sanctions :mjlol: if anything, people need to be giving more attention to turkey as they're gonna continue to be opportunistic as fukk while throwing the NATO label in people's faces the moment they get checked

Oh yea Turkey fools alot of people...I just found out last week they basically control why Russia can't replace the Mosvka ship in the black sea right now..or send anymore ships to the black sea.

1936 Montreux Convention

The (Montreux) Convention regarding the Regime of the Straits,[1][2] often known simply as the Montreux Convention,[3] is an international agreement governing the Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits in Turkey. Signed on 20 July 1936 at the Montreux Palace in Switzerland,[4] it went into effect on 9 November 1936, addressing the long running Straits Question over who should control the strategically vital link between the Black and Mediterranean seas




Who controls the black sea
