  Did…did the front fall off?

    I don’t think that’s very typical.

  Ship carrying sodium cyanide hits a ship carrying jet fuel for the US navy…

  This is sounding less and less like an accident by the minute.

    Running a ship into another ship in order to cause a deliberate fuel leak seems like a rather weird attack strategy.

      I dunno. Seemed like an accident the first time somebody dragged an anchor to cut internet cables too.

      It could just be incompetence, these ships often have minimum crews, minimum training and minimum wages, and apparently wasn’t carrying cyanide after all. But the tanker was still taking jet fuel to a US navy base, who presumably won’t be able to run as many missions until they get more.

      The way the world has been going in the last ten years means I’m no longer a big believer in coincidences.

    Let’s create a list of countries who don’t have any grievances with the United States, so we can narrow down the suspects:

    • Russia

  I wonder how one can ram a rather large tanker at anchor in a quiet sea with high visibility.

  I think they will have to test the freighters crew for drugs and alcohol.

    Just as soon as they can rapidly climb to intercept Russian bombers I’d guess.
