| #2 bigjim-ky, "W" said it himself today, "...there will be serious consequences if they 'attack' our ships while...", the key and code word is 'attack', the Rules Of Engagement at the current status requires a 'shooting', 'launching', or collision at or with a US vessel, otherwise "W" could just as easily said 'buzzing', 'intercepting', 'interdicting' or to a lesser extent 'interfering' in the triggering event. My guess, this first event is being offered as a gauntlet for the subsequent 'consequences'! Any heightening of the ROE will require a 'redline demarcation' area, the US may or may not reveal! |
