Ulysses founder will o’brien reveals why tiny islands can control surprisingly huge stretches of ocean under maritime law: "Up to 12 nautical miles off the coast is the area that most of your laws apply, and then up to maybe 200 nautical miles is where you have some sort...

@Willob tiny specks of land in the middle of the ocean securing massive exclusive economic zones just cause of a few scattered atolls is maritime law operating like a total cheat code connected dots over thousands of miles of water give microscopic islands outsized geopolitical leverage.

Should the Sentinelese be introduced to modernity, or is it more ethical to leave them completely alone?🤔 The Andaman and Nicobar Islands Protection of Aboriginal Tribes Act of 1956 prohibits travel to the island and any approach closer than five nautical miles in order to prevent the resident tribespeople from contracting diseases to which they have no immunity. The area is patrolled by the Indian Navy.

🚨BANG ON! Modi Govt is set to begin work on the ambitious Great Nicobar Project from 2028 💥 The centrepiece will be the Galathea Bay Container Transshipment Terminal. The massive ₹75,000 crore project is located just 40 nautical miles from one of the world’s MOST CRITICAL maritime arteries. This path carries 50% of global container traffic and 80% of global seaborne oil trade 🤯 This will significantly enhance India’s maritime capabilities and strategic presence in the Indo-Pacific👏🏻 The project will involve diversion of a mere 1.82% of the total forest cover of Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

I've just landed in Palau where leaders from across the region are rolling in for the Pacific Islands Forum, which starts tomorrow. And the CCP *surprise surprise* is up to its usual tricks. But more on that in the 🧵. This island country of just 18,000 people is one of only 12 nations that recognize Taiwan instead of the PRC. For years, the Chinese Communist Party has been deploying economic warfare tactics against Palau and other islands in the region.

PCG Challenges China Coast Guard Vessel Loitering Off the Coast of Luzon The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) deployed BRP MALABRIGO (MRRV-4402) since 20 June 2026 to challenge and drive away the China Coast Guard (CCG) vessel 5304 operating within the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). As of today, BRP MALABRIGO has radio-challenged CCG-5304 numerous times but CCG vessel did not respond to any of these challenges. During a Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) flight this morning, the PCG Britten-Norman Islander aircraft (PCG-251) flew over the location of CCG-5304, observed approximately 45.5 nautical miles west of Iba, Zambales. CCG-5304 has been loitering in the maritime area between 27.0 and 45.0 nautical miles west of Luzon since 16 June 2026. Its northernmost track approached as close as 27.29 nautical miles off Burgos, Ilocos Sur, while its southernmost track reached approximately 30.0 nautical miles off Capones Island. As of this evening, the vessel was observed 43.0 nautical miles west of Cabangan, Zambales. It is worth noting that the movement pattern indicates that CCG-5304 is likely patrolling along the limits of China’s unlawfully claimed sea areas in the West Philippine Sea, as demarcated by its illegal nine- or ten-dash line — claims that were invalidated by the 2016 Arbitral Award. The PCG remains steadfast in upholding the Philippines’ sovereign rights and jurisdiction within its maritime zones. We will continue to maintain our presence and conduct lawful patrols to ensure the safety of our maritime domain and protect the rights of our Filipino fisherfolk. The PCG, under the leadership of Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan, remains committed to transparency in exposing the illegal and aggressive activities of China in the West Philippine Sea.

The U.S. Navy's electromagnetic rail gun has a shooting range of over 100 miles, where full line-of-sight is required. At 100 miles of nautical distance, the gun would have to account for over 1.25 miles of earth curvature. Yet it does not need to calculate a single inch of drop. Take all the time you need.

🚨DOES IRAN HAVE A RIGHT TO CONTROL THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ? Afshin Rattansi: ‘Ships have to pass through Iranian and Omani territory because the strait is only 21 miles.’ UAE’s🇦🇪 Mishal Kanoo: ‘I’ll accept that argument and take it to the next stage. Even if that’s the case, the last I checked, neither of the countries created the strait. That was made by God, through the natural movement of tectonic plates. Neither country created it, so neither country has a right to it.’ Afshin: ‘No, but under international maritime law you’re allowed 12 miles. You own up to 12 miles off the coast.’ Mishal Kanoo: ‘None of the countries on either side of the water created that. They happen to be there. So this is a natural passage, it shouldn’t be under anyone’s control in such a manner that they can use it as a gateway. I’d like to say it’s unfair, but this has been a tradition where everyone has been utilising this for the longest time. It’s only now Iran is wanting to weaponise it, that Iran is making issues out of it. It didn’t benefit Iran before because we couldn’t enforce it, so Iran didn’t weaponise it before.’ -One of the UAE’s🇦🇪 most prominent businessmen Mishal Kanoo مشعل كانو, Chairman of the The Kanoo Group, and one of Gulf Business’s Top 100 Powerful Arabs 2025.

ELON: AI AND ROBOTS WILL CREATE AN AGE OF ABUNDANCE "I think that there's no actual limit to the size of the economy once you have general purpose humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles. You can build anything. The economy is really just the average productivity per person times number of people. That's the economy, and if you've got humanoid robots where there's no real limit on the number of humanoid robots and they can operate very intelligently, then there's no meaningful limit to the economy. The good future of AI is one of immense prosperity, where there is an age of abundance, no shortage of goods and services. Everyone can have whatever they want, anything that is a manufactured good or provided service. With the advent of AI plus robotics, the cost of goods and services will trend to zero."

The biggest loss for the United Arab Emirates from the Pakistan-brokered ceasefire between Iran and the United States is that they failed to seize the three Iranian islands of Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb near the Strait of Hormuz—an objective they had hoped to achieve in the event of a U.S.-led maritime offensive and ground invasion of Iran. These islands were central to their efforts to persuade U.S. President Trump to capture them, with the aim of gaining full control over the Strait of Hormuz. Now, with the ceasefire and the potential end of the U.S.-Israeli war against the Islamic regime of Iran, their ambitions to control these islands have been ruined. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

🚨🇮🇷🇴🇲🚢 Another commercial vessel has been hit off the coast of Oman, signaling that maritime tensions in the region remain dangerously high. The latest incident comes just a day after another ship was attacked in nearly the same area. According to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a cargo vessel was struck approximately 20 nautical miles off the Omani coast. The agency has not yet confirmed the condition of the crew or the extent of the damage sustained by the ship. The attack occurred in almost the same location where another commercial vessel came under attack yesterday, highlighting the continued risks facing international shipping in the waters surrounding the Gulf of Oman. The latest incident is likely to heighten concerns over the security of one of the world's most strategically important maritime corridors, where repeated attacks are increasing pressure on regional stability and global trade.

Our team just flew back from Palau, a tiny island nation at the forefront of Chinese Communist Party gray zone warfare operations. You may have never heard of it. But perhaps you might recognize the name of one of its islands: Peleliu. In 1944, this tiny island became the site of one of the bloodiest, most brutal battles of the entire Pacific theater. American Marines fought for every inch of territory against a dug-in Japanese defense. Thousands died. Eighty years later, Palau appears to be on the front line again. It sits along the second island chain, the string of Pacific territory that would be critical in any CCP Taiwan invasion scenario. And Palau is one of only twelve countries that still diplomatically recognizes Taiwan. Beijing has spent years picking that number off, one country at a time — the Solomon Islands, Kiribati, Nauru — flipping Pacific nations with cash, infrastructure deals, and pressure. Palau is one of the last holdouts. On top of that, Palau has something almost no other country has: a Compact of Free Association with the United States. It's an extraordinary agreement. Palau gives the U.S. exclusive military access to its waters, and in exchange, America provides defense, postal service, economic assistance, and more. Only three nations in the world have this deal with Washington. Palau is one of them. And that’s exactly why the U.S. military is now building radar installations on the island and why Chinese pressure campaigns have ramped up. In this episode, I sit down with the President of Palau, Surangel Whipps Jr. Half-American, half-Palauan, and born in Baltimore, Whipps actually gave up his U.S. citizenship to become President of his father's homeland. This is a fascinating conversation with a man leading his country, building a Palauan Dream for his people, and fighting for his country’s sovereignty despite powerful interests ever-encroaching on his island. President Surangel Whipps, Jr.
