    This is what complicates the famine in Northern Africa. It's not just a crime against Ukraine, it's a crime against poor countries who can't afford higher grain prices. Shame on them.

      It's not a crime against Ukraine. This is eastern Ukrainian grain and the east needs to restart its economy now it is separate frome Ukraine.

      @@kaboom1655 it is quite possible there were contracts for that grain and it was grown and intended to go elsewhere. It is common knowledge that grain grown in Ukraine was exported to other countries. The fact that Ukraine grain is no longer available for the world market leads to rising grain prices. All Russia did was increase the cost of food for everyone globally. If people are hungry, I don't begrudge them food. Let them eat. But if Russia takes the grain and uses it in other places besides eastern Ukraine then shame.

    I am not surprised and the ships going dark is very scary because what else is going on the ships and trucks…or coming back out? Food is the obvious commodity but are we witnessing something more nefarious? Shipping is a very good cover and grain is easy to transport…and to hide other commodities.

      It is actually somewhat helpful when ships go dark inappropriately as it alerts observers that funny business is afoot. Helps with highlighting yachts being used as money laundering by Russian officials/oligarchs as well. Russian leaders are thieving scum and steal from decent Russians as well as decent Ukrainians.

    NATO navies could theoretically seize these Rusian ships for illegally plundering Ukrainian grain.

      "Arrest" the ships you mean, not "seize," is takes a lot of paperwork before you can "seize" (new owner) a ship. You "arrest" (can't move) such ships. But how would NATO be able to arrest these ships? NATO is not at war. All tradeships not at war with Turkey can pass freely and unhindered trough their straits. The rest is international waters. NATO can arrest them in port or the nearest coastal waters. Out on the open sea it would be pure piracy.

      @thrillereighties8241 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@gnoglyr7798 OK, let's see how much trolling is there in his statement.
      One oil tanker is apparently worth at least $51,000,000. So 1 trillion divided by 51 million gives us over 19,607 oil tankers. According to MARAD’s latest Vessel Call Snapshot, 21,944 tankers 10,000 dwt or greater made port calls to the United States last year. Keep in mind that was for one year and large oil tankers can actually cost as much as $100 million. I would say that $1 trillion is nothing. You can also do yourself a favour and google Iraq oil production from when the USA invaded Iraq. I find it curious that from 2003 onwards Iraq's oil production doubled from1.3 - 2.3 million barrels of oil to 4.5 million barrels of oil per day! One oil tanker can carry between 70,000 to 190,000 barrels of oil. So if we work with conservative numbers, 2.3 million barrels per day gives us 839,500,000 per year. The USA controlled Iraq from 2003 till 2011 so with conservative figures that give you about 6,716,000,000 barrels of oil. If you look at the prices for barrels of oil between 2003 till 2011 you will find they fluctuated between $40 - $180 a barrel. So let's say on average of $60 a barrel you will get to about $402,960,000,000 for Iraqi oil produced while it was in the hands of the USA. It comes to about half a trillion dollars of oil and that is if I only look count from 2003 till 2011 and work with very cheap oil prices. The USA actually received oil imports from Iraq from 2000 till 2021 so we won't know how much they got or how much they paid for and how much they stole and how much they got at a very low discount price but $1 trillion does not sound that far fetch over this period.

      Turkey is on Ukraine side but you need to understand marine law,Turkey has no legal ground to hold thoose ships,holding thoose ships is piracy almost good as declaration war on Russia,Russia is a state and it approve its their merchant ships by their law,so unfortunately Turkey cant do anything to civilian ships.But last week 2 ship sended back to sivastopol after Ukranian embassy make legal case against the 2 grain cargo ship.Thats all TR can do on this matter unfortunately.
