These comments are nuts, why are people happy about this? Did we swap over to sucking off china???
I think people are mad that they keep nuking trade and trying to ramp up military involvement for a double solvable issue that would repair both the economy at home and negate a trade war with China.
Except that invovles proper market regulation and not slapping tariffs to protect monopoly profits.
Probably just hit a nerve with people that China's usual tactics of slamming boats is suddenly worthy of America getting invovled just because a news crew was onboard, but 10 months of actual warzone genocide reporting in Israel means nothing to the government.
Either that or there's just a bunch of pissed off tankies lmao.
Having looked, it's pissed off tankies.
I mean I get that, but this is pretty separate from Isreal, and this is the third time I've seen them do this myself. Seems like it's at least somewhat newsworthy. You can in fact have both the genocide news and this stuff too.
If you defederate from lemmy.ml most these commenters dissapear
Can they somehow build the boat like a porcupine? Make it expensive to ram. Idk, dangle a directed sea mine on the side. Or something.
I feel like at that point you might as well put a few cannons on the boat.
The purpose would be to make it so the act of ramming is what causes them damage. Sure, they could actively attack the Chinese vessels, but it'd be a lot easier to claim no fault if the Chinese ship runs into you and that causes it to be damaged/destroyed.
I think having some hollow tipped spikes under the water line that detach and leave an inlet pipe in the Chinese ship could be a good idea. Explosive charges could be another option, but at what point is that an active or passive effect?
