#2 I think, rather, that Japan doesn't want their oil to stop flowing. It's so hard to find a new supplier who will do things just our way,you know.

#6 90% of Japanese oil and gas flows out of the gulf. A disruption, even of a couple days would be very difficult on them.
Can't say I really blame their tactic here either. However, if Obama was using "Smart Diplomacy", he could arrange for the oil and gas to come from other sources, including the US for our allies so disruptions would be minimal before attacking.
Obama, however, is not smart.

Yes. Based on personal observation andother sources, the Japanese have long cultivated a relationship with the Iranians to ensure that the oil shipments are unimpeded, including favors such as using Japanese-flagged hulls.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
