  1. How long before the obligatory threat of nuclear war from Russia? Or has it already happened?

    Because everyone in the west knows there will be one and will laugh it off just like all the rest.

    The US is attempting to seize a russian flagged oil tanker Bella-1, linked to Venezuela.

    Looking forward to the Russian version “we allowed the seizure, as we comply with maritime law”

    Tinfoil hat on, but this would be a pretty effective and low effort way to let MAGA pretend they are standing up to the Russians.

    There we go ! Putin gonna be in very bad shape in end of year 26 when his war chest runs dry

  6. This. Laughable fleet is the pressure that Russia can muster to contest siezure of a highly embarrasing, very visible asset.

    Go. Lay. Down.

    The Russians’ tanks are going to steamroll across Europe… right to Lisbon! They’ll be in Kyiv in 3 days…
    The might warship Moskva will… um…
    Never mind.

    A Venezuela-linked oil tanker operating in the so-called “dark fleet” painted a Russian flag on its hull, changed its name, and reflagged to Russia in an apparent bid to evade the U.S. Coast Guard, according to reports.

    The vessel has since been spotted off Ireland, with the U.S., U.K., France and Ireland reportedly conducting aerial surveillance after it escaped U.S. interception in December, [The Times](https://www.thetimes.com/uk/defence/article/venezuela-oil-tanker-uk-nato-planes-mzdd5532r?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqc-LJO0sU3ByXC-WCFbR_56c4JORxJ4ObCyssLKSLRXAx4n0ayxIj5dLcD0KC0%3D&gaa_ts=695d72ca&gaa_sig=bc6pZPWcFdHPLg8GfpSx4W0JJodGHU2QGhNgKWFd0oYEQGG9J7wJ6-Jd-4LdF__1-4RY5eXYhd00un_40keEQA%3D%3D) reported.

    Meanwhile, Russia has reportedly since deployed a submarine and naval assets to escort the tanker to its own waters, the Wall Street Journal [reported](https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/russia-sends-submarine-to-escort-tanker-the-u-s-tried-to-seize-off-venezuela-4bd78dc7) late Tuesday.

    This just makes me mad. If the USA moved into Ukraine in Jan 2022 or established a no fly zone after Feb 2022. The Ukraine war would’ve been over.

    Thanks for revealing the Submarine… Now the P-8s and Naval Ships that are on scene carrying the Littlebirds can effectively update whether they were right on their tracks…

    How did WWIII start, it was a rusty Oil Tanker seizure.
