Just Trump's push for lower oil prices (regardless of how effective) is devastating to Russia. If we play our energy cards right that leash position could be changed.

Going back centuries it is customary to shoot off a cannon or whatever across the bow of a ship to get it to stop. Normally that shot is nowhere near the actual ship. So, yes it is possible to sail into the line of fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 2 hours ago, Foxx said: i guess that is debatable. No, it's not. That's not "line of fire," that's sailing course. And that isn't nearly as simple - there's recognized international rules for right of way at sea. From that video, I couldn't tell who violated them.
