I once met a guy who’d been in a dance troupe while serving in the PLA, which seemed weird to me but I guess it’s not much different from being in a military band or something.

Pictures you can smell

fake, even with wheels one guy ain’t moving that kind of weight himself

Whatever, as long as it’s not bullpup.

based, tbh, fuck 90s Serbia

…. The channel is 17NM wide at the narrowest

And 130 at its widest, and substantially wider than the Strait of Dover throughout most of its area, so again there’s tons water outside of their jurisdiction.

Uh what? We’re talking about stopping a Russian warship that is leading shadow tankers through the straight. That’s literally exactly what the sanctions are there to stop. Did you read the article?

“Net, ship is there for unrelated reasons.” I think you’re being a bit naive. (accidentally hit post) Nobody is going to sanctions to warships, even if they’re escorting a sanctioned ship.

You know, you’re right - a better term might’ve been freely navigable waters.

But that actually doesn’t make much difference. The 200 nm range you mentioned is the exclusive economic zone, which relates to stuff like oil rigs and fishing. Outside of specific situations, a country’s jurisdiction extends at most to 24 nm (the contiguous zone), which would make most of the English Channel and Baltic and North Sea usable to anyone.

Beyond that, I’m not sure what to say about the rest of your comment because we’re talking about a warship firing at a civilian vessel. This isn’t a shadow fleet tanker or hauler of stolen Ukrainian wheat, there’s no plausible way to interpret interfering with them as sanctions enforcement.

Do you actually think the sanctions involve stopping warships in international waters, a literal act of war against a sovereign country?

Because it’s an international waterway

It’s the same chemicals in the water that make the frogs gay

… .but the oil will be ok, right?

For a second, I thought I’d missed the next big brain move after Iran.

If only those missiles had instead been given to Ukraine and were being used to destroy the invaders.

Fuck, yeah - time to mend the Great Schism by retaking Constantinople. Also, let’s call Turkey the Nottoman Empire.
