Surely at some point there’s gonna be retaliation? I get all that might makes right shit but surely they’re not gonna let the US just take everything at anytime completely unopposed just because they keep the finger on the red button
The US has probably done a risk assessment that shows that they can steal the occasional tanker or container ship and other countries won’t go to war over something like that, so the US will try and disrupt international trade as much as possible without causing other countries to escalate. I expect we’ll see more stuff like this in the future, probably in SEAsia to disrupt China’s shipping next.

It feels like right before WW2. When the world was in the appeasement phase.
