The USA also accused Russia of exporting oil to North Korea at sea.

The USA was using the same tactic again (fabrication).  The accusation of China but not Taiwan was not enough for the USA because the USA knew Russia would get involved in the peninsula war.  Therefore, the USA had to accuse Russia too.

Let's see what the USA will accuse of the Panama flagged ship.

Just look at the accusation of Iraq by the USA (Weapons of mass destruction).  Without this accusation, the USA couldn't find any reason to attack Iraq.  Anyway, it was an illegal attack as denounced by the UK later.

Asian countries should stand together to fight against USA's accusation and not let the USA attack any Asian country without any concrete proof.  The evidence produced by the USA must be vetted by Asian countries for veritable legitimacy too.  We truly need an Asia-Pacific defence organization which is similar to NATO to protect Asian interest.
