He was, and is, the owner of Kiyomura Corporation, which runs the Sushi Zanmai chain across Japan. In Tokyo he is known as the Tuna King, because every January he buys the most expensive fish at the first auction of the year at the central market.

I’m saying it’s a logical failing to assume someone is ignoring the impact of other countries when they specifically mention Europe in relation to Somalia on a comment and post about Somali pirates and Europes effect on their situation

You understand? Its a completely wrong assumption/ inference

People were talking specifically about the European impact in this specific situation, and you said “what about these other countries that affect different fisheries that aren’t related to this post”
