Cache of weapons included advanced Russian-made anti-tank guided missiles & Chinese Type 56 assault rifles. That is ALL Chinese made weapons! Type 56's are definitely Chinese, but I also recognize the 50 cal rifles as something the chicoms make, the svd's are actually Norinco tigers, and the RPG launchers are also Chinese pattern. The ATGM'S may be LABELED IN RUSSIAN but those are also chicom in origin out of their deniable factories that produce weapons for grey zone operations!

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77336307 Being that it was in International waters, yes they have jurisdiction to board the vessel for routine checks. Especially if the vessel is suspected of flying another countries flag when registered to a different country. [link to digitalcommons.mainelaw.maine.edu (secure)] "With international merchant shipping now playing a central role in joining together nations and continents commercially and politically, the system has become more vulnerable to misuse or attack. As the world marine transportation system has grown in importance, it has become a more attractive vector for militants, terrorists, international criminal organizations, and armed groups. Parasitic groups mask illicit activities throughout the marine cargo chain infrastructure, or exploit the system as part of a strategy of asymmetric warfare against prosperous and democratic states. Regional ethnic and clan-based pirates, extremists, and separatist and freelancing smugglers infect the marine transportation system for political, economic, and military purposes. Leveraging the anonymity afforded by the vast tyranny of time and distance in the oceans, the resulting lawlessness destabilizes nations on every continent. To counter these threats, maritime law enforcement, coast guards, and naval forces conduct constabulary patrols and maritime security operations (MSO). States employ warships and law enforcement vessels, as well as submarines and aircraft, to patrol the ocean commons, particularly throughout the coastal zone. Ideally, threats can be disrupted on the land, before they manifest an immediate danger, or along the seashore interface in port facilities, roadsteads, and inshore waters." The NRA has no jurisdiction over the operation. If the cargo had been drugs nobody would bat an eye over it now would they. |

Why don't u stop them at ports of origin? @24yemencom God bless you all.This weapons are intended to kill innocent people in Marib Yemen by Iranian Houthies proxy.The Houthies are terrorist Iranian militias. Well done US 5th fleet.Thanks from all Yemenis to You. @m88697925 Translated from Arabic by It was on its way for the terrorist Houthi militia to kill the Yemeni people, target oil installations in Saudi Arabia, and target innocent people. Aye O @Adam99867103 Nah. The CIA will find end users for them, just as the KGB was here...... Aliim @aliim714 That’s how Iran has been supporting its proxy militia in the region and that’s a clear reason why should the UN reimpose the arms embargo on Iran Loukee @Loukeell it's a nice catch. it was better that these weapons not be used by terrorists. Nice job guys. @rodimcev_h The US sending weapons to Syrian terrorists and Saudi Arabia for killing people of Yemen is OK? Incredible hypocrisy. Jonathan Howard @JHowardBrainMD didn’t request these get shipped to Texas and just handed out to citizens. Robert Farrell @RobertF23004448 Which law, whose law, was broken?
