  • Well, the tanker has been seized. Russia is not going to war with the US over a crappy old tanker that was changed to Russian registry at the last minute, while actively trying to evade US forces. Putin has his hands full with his ongoing (4-years?) war with Ukraine that he expected to win in a couple of weeks and the strengthened NATO that war caused. Trump has the biggest stick and Putin knows it. Hopefully Trump plays this right and we get the Russians, Chinese and Iranians out of South America with an eviscerated Cuban regime for dessert.

  • It appears that this is not over.

    Approximately 40 shadow fleet tankers have reflagged as Russian recently, about 20 in the last few days.

    It has also been reported that soldiers disguised as crewman are now being deployed on such tankers.

    It remains to be seen what might happen if/when the US attempts to seize one.
