        ooh an "agreement". So not a treaty. Well that makes me feel better. Goodwill is nice. Now who gets caught cheating first?

        You said we 'can't." We can. That does not mean that we will. "Won't" doesn't mean "can't."

        Absurd. The current US navy could easily do so. That does not mean that it would be smart to do so, or without consequences.

        The US Navy has ~480 ships in service, carrying far more firepower than the combined naval forces of the rest of the world combined. Good-bye. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_ships_of_the_United_States_Navy …

        Great news! An agreement is better than nothing. A bit disappointed that it is only for an area the size of Mediterranean though... I hope it does not mean that the rest is without any restriction.

        Thank you for sharing positive news stories. It is a welcome reprieve from the standard news feed of fear and nostalgia.
