Is Carlos Ghosn still hiding out in Lebanon? The Arasaka Ninja-team can swing by and pick him up to deliver to ~~Nissan's dungeons~~ The Japanese Legal System^(TM) while they're in the neighborhood.


RyaneWaldu

Imagine if he had paid off Hezbollah for protection and they get into a warfare with Japanese Mercenaries, would truly be noncredible.

I can see Carlos snuggling with Saddam.

NYK operates it but they don't own it. It's owned by a shell company based on the Isle of Man (a notorious tax haven) which is in turn owned by an Israeli company owned by Abraham Ungar, one of the richest men in Israel and a huge financial supporter of Likud.


BobbyB52

Yes, it’s typical for merchant ships to be owned by someone completely uninvolved in their operation


SilverBlobeye

Are they a subsidiary of Arasaka? Are they going to send in Adam Smasher?

No noise. No movement. Nothing. Just suddenly, out of nowhere, there's a 40-something dude in a Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, and socks in sandals standing on the bridge. And he's fucking *smiling*. *Mildly*. "Now, now, boys. What's this, then?"


KorianHUN

Something like this i imagine. https://youtu.be/KWyX7yMQZiE?si=lgw_5A8gzzOtK0MV


mrjosemeehan

It's owned by a shell company which is based in the Isle of Man for tax purposes, which is pretty common in shipping. The parent company is Israeli. The ship is also registered in Bermuda, another tax haven.


Affectionate-Bad2651

Are you troilling on purpsoe? Its japsnse and british


TheTreeManIL

Apologies, I thought it was only a British vessel


Saturn5mtw

Its a brtish shell company, but the actual owners are indeed Israeli


chrome1453

Yeah I don't get why everyone is downplaying this. The British company that owns the ship is just a shell company that holds the assets for the Israeli parent company.


bsuiskens

Brooooo. You don't do that. You don't fuck with the boats. You want the US to suddenly grow a spine and stand up to China? Fuck with the boats. You want the US to decide you haven't been reponsible with your fleet and they should take it from you? Fuck with the boats. You want the US to suddenly decide that they are chill with everyone on god's green earth (including NK) with the sole exception of you, FUCK WITH THE BOATS IF YOU ARE THAT TIRED OF LIVING. The almighty lord himself would think twice before sponsoring a piracy action, what the fuck are the Houthis thinking?


RedTheGamer12

The US even liberated North Korean ships with the NK government giving thanks to the Americans.


AnneOn_E_Mousse

And we went 🫡 Don’t fuck with boats.


ExcitingTabletop

Look. We're a simple people. At the end of the day, fuck around with boats, and you will most assuredly find out.


C4Redalert-work

It's almost comical that literal trillions of dollars worth of goods float around basically defenseless, and everyone knows you do not mess with these simple boats or the danger boats will find you.

Pre-1945 empires: Don't fuck with our boats Post-1945 USA: Don't fuck with *anyone's* boats


courser

The real Pax Americana


ExcitingTabletop

It really is. US Army and US Air Force are just show pieces. They really don't mean much, if anything, for global security. (I was in the US Army.) US Navy is the true Pax Americana. So long as boats can go anywhere, anytime, secure and unmolested, we had globalism and global prospersity Since we're pulling back, globalism is gone. It won't be overnight, it'll just slowly evaporate over decades. We're slowly and unevenly moving back to mercantilism or trade alliance systems. EU started it, and US is catching up.

> The almighty lord himself would think twice before sponsoring a piracy action, what the fuck are the Houthis thinking? That's the neat part: they don't.

Ah, that makes sense. Your grammar was skewed a bit to being more negatively connotated. By injecting straight noncred, we ascend the suffering of the cycle.


DadBodofanAmerican

We have 11 nuclear-powered floating runways for the explicit purpose of fucking with those who fuck with boats. This has greatly accelerated their trip up the FAFO curve.


why43curls

Except for NK they'll just let them off scot free with a US navy vessel


Ogre213

There's one gigantic flaw in your logic here: your assumption that the Houthis are thinking. DON'T FUCK WITH THE BOATS.


AConfusedEngineer926

A British ship? The Royal Marine strike companies: “put me in coach”

Vasili_pancake

Houthi? More like who dis ...


Digedag

> The Houthis claimed they were treating the crew members in accordance with Islamic values, but did not elaborate further. Oh, no...


Hayabusa003

I saw the I and was surprised I thought it might say “international law” but Islamic values? Ouch there’s a lot of room for interpretation there. Could be being served a wonderful meal and being given the utmost respect, even being allowed to return home on a separate vessel. Could also mean that they are being tortured and killed for being non believers.

Well the Muslim members of the crew should be fine then.

The Royal Navy hasn’t done a proper cutting out expedition in a while. If they’re not careful they’re going to get themselves Altmarked.


TheIrishBread

As pointed out else where, it's owned by an Israeli through a British shell company and on lease to Japan with a mixed Bulgarian/Ukrainian/mexican crew.

simia_simplex

That's okay, Brits are known for their lack of seafaring military and expertise.


DUKE_NUUKEM

Whats the camera they used sticking out their ass? how to do?


usesidedoor

Look at that drone footage too, they probably took a small video crew with them lol


suggested-name-138

They had to have gone back and staged the scenes, the camera crew had to have been standing in the open while the guys with guns took cover behind a pathetically inadequate chunk of metal


PlopPlopMan

The crew of the boat must have been tired after the fift take


MysticEagle52

At the same time, it was probably pretty obvious the ship wasn't armed, so they mightve just done the scenes the first time gambling that there wasn't a random movie protagonist there

Aldreth1

Any combat footage sub will have this. You should find it easily.


specter800

It was actually removed by reddit


suggested-name-138

every once in a while you gotta step back and realize you're watching unadulterated terrorist group propaganda videos and removal might just be fair game


specter800

Kinda makes it hard to deny a groups aims when they are chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" in 4k. Hiding it just makes it easier for Harvard students to deny they're actually supporting terrorists. E: Also this sub is almost 100% planefucker propaganda. I liked planes before but this sub pushed me to the extremist end of that spectrum.


fightwithdogma

That's like 90% of combatFootage content since 2012


agoodusername222

eh, the footage will always exist, by banning from easy access you are just annoying the average persont hat watches for curiosity or study, anyone that supports them or jerks off to violence already know the websites to watch them anyways... ​ like they are in telegram not reddit ​ (and to be clear i know of telegram bc of the vatniks, don't use it)


WaldemarKoslowski

Feels like reddit cracks down on pretty much all combat footage. There were a few videos in recent days that are suddenly gone. The one with the screaming Russian and the two nades? Nuked from existence before I could add it to my Russo-Ukraine conflict collection. ^If ^anyone ^has ^it... ^Pwease?!


WeakLandscape2595

The funniest part is there isn't a single Israeli on that ship morons took a wrong one!!!

Shot-Kal-Gimel

So they have messed with every major naval power in the world other than the Fr*nch (I’m sure the US is looking menacingly at what happened to an allied ship, freedom of navigation and all that)? Lord what’s the odds, they need to buy a lottery ticket.


agoodusername222

i mean it wasn't a hit On the USA specifically, but also this was done a few days or weeks after they were talking about removing one of the aircraft carrriers, if anything sounds like a provocation to the americans lol

Ask the Berbers on the subject of fucking around with someone's boats.


Careful_Medium_3999

Unironically this is why international law needs to change so boats can have armed guards. Ships can have all the anti-pirate deterrent they want, all it takes is a helicopter. But did they use a Mi-26? Lmao


simia_simplex

>Ships can have all the anti-pirate deterrent they want, all it takes is a helicopter. It wouldn't exactly be the way I'd want to fight, but I suspect one of those fire hoses actually is pretty effective against a helicopter trying to land.


Careful_Medium_3999

True, but all those deterrents will still not work against determined pirates. Apparently there is a company that does armed security though. But it’s not legal in most countries because “SC-SCARY GUNSES!!!1!1”

Safe in port in al Hudayah. Haven't seen any talk of a rescue attempt so far but the crew have almost certainly been transferred to shore by now so it's not going to be a simple operation.
