Mongolia may be landlocked and have no navy, but if it permits foreign ships to be registered under its flag that's obviously what the agreement is about. It's reminiscent of the oil tankers that used to be (still are?) registered to Liberia. If Mongolian registration is the new haven for those who want to evade inspection and regulation, this agreement makes sense.

Now that you put it that way....

I believe that the agreement is more of a preventative measure, before "person(s) of interest hostile to the US" begin registering under the Mongol flag.

I could be wrong, however....

I have no knowledge of the events which you are describing, and if I did have knowledge of them,
I would be unable to discuss them with you now or at any future period.



Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
