[@tiggytheimpaler5483]

Unless they are pirates, like legitimately pirates and not just a socialist government, all vessels over a certain tonnage have a legal responsibility to rescue floaters. However since it was an unarmed vessel full of civilians, it couldn't gaurantee the ability maintain security of force (the ability to maintain authority of individuals by force of power) and couldn't guarantee safety of civilians, which takes priority at sea over protection POWs. Wierdly enough the "I have Civilians abroad" card is a legitimate reason to leave enemy sailors in the water and is one of the reasons most navies have civilian contractors abroad in non combat roles because holy shit is it hard to keep prisoners on a vessel. I think most air craft carriers can only reasonably keep like 50 POWs without support outside of normal fleet operations

[@TheRougeSky]

Honestly it seems like that Venezuelan navy ship was crewed my cadets fresh out of basic. Firing on an unarmed civilian vessel unprovoked is very unprofessional. However thats just the tip of the iceberg, the real thing that made my jaw drop is, if we take the Venezuelan navy's word for it that they tried to sail in front of the cruise ship, then that is just peak stupidity. There are plenty of golden rules when it comes to operating ships, one of them is never suddenly turn in front of another vessel unless its anchored and in place or you have plenty of room to avoid a collusion. Ships aren't like cars, they don't stop on a dime, if you pull in front of another ship, even if its crew reacts instantly, goes full revers, tried to alter their own vessels course to avoid yours and even drops anchor in a desperate bid to slow down as fast as possible, the process still takes time and in the mean time physics continue to do their thing and that ship will keep moving. So it really dumb that the Venezuelan Navy ship though sailing in front of another ship without warning at such close range was actually a smart idea.

It’s a wonder the Venezuelan Navy didn’t try to accuse them of piracy. I’ve had a few run-in’s with Venezuelan navy vessels in past years (I used to captain a 95 foot yacht in a charter business, and sailed those waters frequently.) Their navy is a joke, but a dangerous and scary one. Once, they even tried to board us, well into international waters, but I managed to outrun them in the direction of a U.S. Navy ship. I had a U.S. home port/registration and flew a U.S. flag, so I knew if I could get within 25 nautical miles of a U.S. Navy ship, they wouldn’t dare touch us. Scary stuff!

[@ReikerForge]

"In a statement released by Venezuela on 31 March, RCGS Resolute was accused of committing an act of "aggression and piracy" by intentionally ramming and sinking Naiguatá while the patrol boat was conducting a maritime traffic control operation, as well as of acting "cowardly and criminal" for not participating in the search and rescue of the patrol boat's crew of 44, all of which were rescued by other Venezuelan vessels."

[@ancavalcanti92]

@@ThatOneGuyWhoLostHisHandle A navy's core purpose is to exert control over the waters. A pirate seeks to do the same, only with smaller aims. The only difference between a privateer and a pirate is that one pillages ships for profit and the other does the same, but without government permission.

[@ThatOneGuyWhoLostHisHandle]

@@ancavalcanti92 A navy's goal is not to "exert control over the waters" no navy does that, they maintain the control their government already has over their waters, aka defense... And a pirate certainly has no wish to openly claim segments of water because then a navy, defending the rights imposed by international law, will come hunt them down. Were really arguing semantics here, obviously they aren't the same thing as they do different things for different reasons and have different names...............

I would love to see you cover the Dogger Incident which took place during the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. In the leadup to the Battle of Tsushima, a Russian fleet was sailing past Britain, headed to Japan to confront the Japanese. The Russians had heard fictitious reports of Japanese torpedo boats operating in the area and were on high alert. In the Dogger Bank incident, the Russian fleet mistook a group of British fishing trawlers operating near the Dogger Bank at night for hostile Japanese ships. The fleet fired upon the small civilian vessels, killing several British fishermen; one trawler was sunk while another six were damaged. In confusion, the Russians even fired upon two of their own vessels, killing some of their own men. The subsequent Battle of Tsushima saw the Imperial Japanese Navy humiliate the Russians in one of the most decisive battles in naval history.

It's kind of a nice surprise when that happens.

[@TaliyahP]

Imagine losing a naval battle against an unarmed ship. That's embarrassing for Venezuela tbh

[@Cleaverbomb]

Almost a million subs, you're killing it my man. New videos always as entertaining as the last if not more so.

I left venezuela over 10 years ago. No regrets. Cheers Qxir.

[@Momo_Kawashima]

How bad can you be if your patrol boat looses a fight against an unarmed cruise ship under maintenance?

[@gregoryheim9781]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Much to the annoyance of passengers.

[@incurableromantic4006]

Little known fact - the Venezuelan navy subsequently went on to operate submarine tours of the Titanic.

[@mybestfriendlober]

The subtitles started before qxir so I had to imagine chills saying "if you're on board a cruise ship, the last thing you'd want is the venezuelan navy to fire at you" But as it turns out, that might be what you get....

You are by far my favorite KZbin story teller! I've followed you from nearly the beginning of your channel.

[@SweetButDeadly101]

Qxir baby, you are just getting better and better! All of the highlights already mentioned in the comments were superb, but for me the quip on " Patronizing me" was absolute GOLD, as was the " we can enjoy some Bruskis on the blue seas with some floozies on the cruisies". Just brilliant! Can't wait to pop the cork when you hit 1M subs xxx

Don't feel to bad about yourself Venezuela you might have one of your patrol boat's sunk by a cruise ship of all things but at least you did not loose your flagship to a country that does not even have a navy

[@cd87104]

I love this kid... who else? great story telling boyo. its your wit and intelligence that keep me watching. great judgment in story selection too. drawings are on a level of genius i cant critique

[@phillhuddleston9445]

Lesson learned, never board a ship with a lengthy arrest record!

[@drunkestrick4476]

7:20 Being in a naval battle probably lowered the value of the ship slightly. Although I would say winning that battle could potentially increase its value too 😂.

[@yaseenayoub4561]

I just found your channel a couple months ago and I must say this is one of my favorite youtube series of all time. Maybe it’s something about your narration, cute drawings, or humor. Probably a combination of the three. Anyways, thank you for the awesome content.

how can you sell a cruise ship that sank a navyship for only 600k

[@johnpublic6582]

If I had known it was for sale I would have put together one of those 'sell shares in my big idea' old west companies and bought it myself. Step 3: Profit.

[@reshpeck]

​@@johnpublic6582Profit? Having a whole ass cruise ship is profit enough!

[@hawker7488]

They had to buff out the patrol boat shaped dents on the bow.

If a ship fires on another ship, it loses all right to complain about not being rescued by their would-be victims.

I wasn't expecting such a small cruise ship

[@thesquiddler]

It looks average size to me 😳

[@ik2254]

Sailing with one of those giant, multi-billion dollar ships to places like Antarctica is economically unviable, because of the demand being not high enough. Such big cruise ships need thousands of people to book the trip, to break the bank. Those boats chug gas like no tomorrow, plus each day it spends idle, you loose a crap ton of money

[@GustavoEBarriga]

As a vnezuelan I find this video excesively funny 😂🤣💀 To understand why, you have to know that everyone in the venezuelan gov is deep brainwashed into communism, like an horrible religious cult. So watching this again (this news were censored and heavily edited) brings hope that everyone can see how dumb a communist can be in front of real scenario (not controlled, staged videos) like this 🤣 Also, that's explain our economy in the last 15 years.

[@johnlytimporok8184]

Does the majority of your country support the government?

[@GustavoEBarriga]

Only the ones who depend directly of the gov, it's an uncertain number since there's in full force something called "the paria system" aka social credit. The rest are just trying to go out of the country (legal or illegal) or either staying and tryig to survive.@@johnlytimporok8184

I adore the trend the “ice hardened” civilian ships just kicking the ass of whatever they run into or being “tougher” then expected & survive the odds.
