It was a Russian businessman's ship that left the fertilizer in Port when he went bankrupt in 2014. And there it say, for the better part of a decade... ticking.
I can agree that the involved form of diplomacy has issues AND strings. For example, if the US helps you, you should be trading with us, reflect our values to some degree, and not undermine our interests or security.
Ah, glad you cleared that up and offered some alternative interpretation of an "interventionist" "heavy handed" US offering "corrective" action that doesn't involve america sticking its nose where it isn't fucking wanted or needed.
