  1. So standard response from a drunken orc. Wouldn’t be a wednesday without a nuclear threat.

    They’ve abandoned all their so called political friends abroad. Venezuela were begging for help. They watched on from a submarine as the tankers were apprehended…

    Anything with Russia and Trump beefing is all smoke and mirrors. It is made up so Trump can keep pushing for Greenland.

    If Trump truly cared about security from Russia he would be giving Ukraine more.

  4. “We had a deal!” I saw that Britain gave notice last night that they had assisted the United Sates with this operation, so I am inclined to think it might have been a real thing, what with this new information. Or its a new Trump fk up which ended up doing some good. I don’t even know anymore.

  5. I’m as skeptical as anyone else but if this is just putting on a show it’s a hell of a show that really fucks Russia.

    Especially is Graham is right and he just agreed to the sanctions package. It may be how he’s keeping his party on board with Venezuela.

  6. “Don’t play games” says the bully who plays nothing but games every day while threatening with nuclear weapons.

  7. All of this testosterone flying around worldwide needs to be brought to heel

    Centuries of just stupid pointless fighting for ego

    I hate all of these ASSHOLES playing games.

    Russia has no room to talk. We could all stay right within our borders and be fine.

    It confuses me why the crew chose to paint the Russian flag on the ship, did they think trump would see it and think ‘ it belongs to my BFF, I’ll just let it go’…

    Think I’ve answered my own question 🫤

    Lol, pot calling the kettle black. If you violate international law, others will too.

  10. Where was all this tough talk when Russia had 2 surface ships and a submarine spectating the seizure?

    The Chihuahua tends to bark the loudest when the man’s back is turned and is walking away. With a foreign cargo ship under his arm,

  11. Nothing will get DJT more on Ukraines side than Putin and his lackeys threatening him. So that’s good!

    They’re a shadow fleet of vessels not owned by Russia specifically being used to evade sanctions. Technically Russia has no reason to be mad

    “Don’t play games”, says country operating tankers under other countries flags to skirt sanctions.

  14. If the vessel is registered as a Russian then it would be “piracy” if ship was transporting oil between Russian ports (e.g. Novorossiysk to Kalingrad). But a registered (aka “flagged”) Russian vessel would be subject to sanctions on international oil biz. So Russia attempts to get around this by using ships flagged in other countries (Panama, Palau…) but then when a “shadow fleet vessel” gets stopped they try to claim that this is a Russian vessel (“we mailed the registration paperwork with a check last week”) to claim that seizing it is a violation of international law.

  15. Ruzzia is weak and getting weaker every day.
    Ukraine is making good strides.
    About the only card ruzzia has left is the nuke card.
    The problem is that there is no tactical gain made by ruzzia for playing the nuke card.
    Playing the nuke card does not win the war for ruzzia.
    And I think they know that.
    Ruzzia is hoping that it can bluff its way out of this.

    What the fuck is this clickbait. Not gonna open, but everyone who followed this situation knows, russia did nothing close to “unleashing fury”. All russia did – took a seat in a chair near bed.
