+OverSword Posted December 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Quote According to South Korea’s Chosun Ilbo, U.S. recon satellites have photographed around 30 illegal transactions involving Chinese vessels selling oil to North Korea. Washington, D.C. – United States reconnaissance satellites have allegedly caught Chinese ships violating UN sanctions by engaging in illegal oil trades with North Korean vessels nearly 30 times in October. The images were captured in the West Sea on October 19, prior to the most recent round of sanctions on the DPRK, which caps oil product shipments at 500K barrels per year, going into effect. The satellite footage reveals a North Korean ship, named Ryesonggang 1, connected with a Chinese ship in what was deemed a ship-to-ship oil transfer, which is prohibited and deemed illegal by U.S. authorities. According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s official report on the incident: “North Korea is known to employ deceptive shipping practices, including ship-to-ship transfers, a practice prohibited by United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2375 of September 11, 2017.” Link 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorg Posted December 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I wonder if heating oil is on the sanctions list? Sad, if so, because the poor will suffer and possibly die as a result. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted December 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Kim doesn't give a whit about the common people, they will be the ones to suffer for sure. Too bad we can't cut off his cheese/liquor supply. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
