    Why are these tankers not subject to sanctions if their ownership is so well-known that Lloyd’s can report on it with absolute certainty?

      The people who would create the sanctions are the same people funding the dictators. There are no well-defined sides anymore based on political philosophy or anything else. It’s just two powers in the world now, the wealthy and the religious fanatics. Both prefer dictators because it’s easier to keep a single dictator distracted with political toil who will then keep the people distracted with meaningless hate-driven decisiveness. Much easier for the tiny minority to keep power than actually running functioning economies and centrist or left wing political structures of any kind.

        There are lots of wealthy religious fanatics. Can you make your Venn diagram intersection smaller by providing more detail?

          Oh, yeah, but the wealthy generally only pretend so they can use the religious fanatics as opposed to actually being one. But even the less wealthy religious fanatics still have we power. So definitely crossover, but not entirely singular.
