First, let me say how much I appreciate you and the channel you have developed over the years. I’ve been with you all the way back when you were just setting up your Patreon page and it’s been a great ride! When talking about P&I and the Black Sea bulk carriers that were hit, there has been much discussion if the shadow fleet is actually being insured, given they are flying under various flags of convenience. So let’s say one or both of the ships are not insured. It would appear there may be some environmental damage. So what happens? Given this gray area of ownership and insurance, maybe the bill never gets paid. What’s the recourse for countries surrounding the sea that may be impacted?

Next question: given the U.S. has a COFA agreement with the Marshall Islands and you mentioned the M.I. are one of the larger “flags of convenience”, it seems as if the U.S. is ok with this? I realize the COFA allows the U.S. to have a military base in the middle of the Pacific and we can do some testing there on a nearby Atoll…but this seems problematic? Given the relation provides economic and defense agreements for the citizens of M.I., if we weren’t ok with them doing this…we could probably influence them to limit or stop the flag of convenience behavior?

Comprise not comprise. Every now and then he drops in a malapropism. But otherwise, these are brilliant explanations of what's going on
