Well if you’re not going to fall you may as well rise.

Add some green screen tech and you’re golden, you don’t even need to leave to truly walk the streets.

I don’t know about STS out the coast at Portugal, can you link me a source to these? The frequency of the STS are higher in the Med, The gulf, and the Indian Ocean. They are nutters but they do care for themselves. Also the military can’t seize a tanker if they are not readily visible/transponder is off.

The insurance aspect is however something that does stop them offloading. Which is what was seen by Istanbul.

You can’t fall from a window if you are in a basement.

There are ways to circumnavigate Ship to Ship transfers. Most notable of which entails putting the ship at danger by switching off the transponder or ghosting its location to somewhere else. STS transfers are down but the consequence for everyone is high, not just the Russians. It’s a difficult ecosystem, you have refineries, tankers, consumers all vying for the stuff. Russian oil will be used by Ukrainians in their vehicles and they won’t even know it.

I presume that Ukraine has factored this into the $300bn aid it requires for rebuilding.

Thank you, I think most of what I understand about the Iranian inability to produce a functioning nuclear warhead is covered in the report. They don’t have the design, material capability, nor the amount of material required at the required enrichment level at present. The report also states that there has been no move to accelerate weaponising the Uranium since 2003. I think a lot of the Anti-Iran rhetoric is based purely on hatred and little on fact. If a country doesn’t have the capability to design a nuclear warhead, and there’s no proof that they have the enriched material to create the reaction, let alone the materials required to assemble a missile, then it’s all just flights of fancy….

Sorry, the link doesn’t work for me, what is the title of the report?

Does Iran’s opponents not already have those capabilities, so technically they would be playing “catch-up” in terms of their own development? Also is the ”nuclear warheads” not just a WMD-esq fearmongering which proliferates in Europe, The US, and Israel? I remember reading about how much material would be required but if you have a link to where Iran is in their nuclear warhead capability I’d appreciate the link.

Middle East was entirely stable until this announcement was made. Not A Karl Sharro quip.
