Seven cargo ships loaded with iron ore are heading to China, and Washington is furious, demanding sanctions, and Canadian patrol planes have been intercepted!
A U.S. official who did not want to reveal their name said that the coal and iron ore carried by these ships bring between $200 million to $400 million in revenue to Pyongyang each year. The U.S. emphasized that if such violations of sanctions are not stopped, the effectiveness of international sanctions will gradually be undermined.
The U.S. has asked China and Russia to cooperate with Western sanctions, but completely ignores the Western sanctions that China and Russia are suffering. This logic is also very touching. China has clearly stated: "We are neighboring countries, and we maintain normal trade and economic relations, which is quite normal."
Moreover, Resolution 2321 stipulates that if the iron and iron ore exported are used for civilian purposes and do not involve nuclear or missile programs, they are not affected by sanctions. Then, how does Washington know that these funds are definitely used for nuclear or missile programs?
The U.S. itself doesn't take action, but instead stands behind the scenes and instructs its allies to act. This is a typical attitude of taking all the benefits and avoiding all the problems. In the Yellow Sea, Canada's P3C patrol planes have been intercepted by J-16 and J-30 fighter jets on more than one occasion. Canada's reason is that it is monitoring North Korean cargo ships, implementing Resolution 2321.
Who knows on which day these patrol planes will be subjected to the "Barren Sea Scalpel" incident?
