The United States has officially called Vladimir Putin’s bluff. In a stunning race across the North Atlantic, US forces boarded and seized the Russian-flagged oil tanker Marinera (formerly Bella 1) just minutes before a deployed Russian submarine could arrive to stop them.
The Kremlin’s response? Total paralysis. Instead of threats, Moscow is now quietly asking for the “humane treatment” of its crew. We break down the full timeline, the submarine interception that failed, and why this seizure leaves Russia with zero good options.
There is more to this than the US chasing an empty ship across the Atlantic. They could have arrested this ship when it was approaching Venezuela.
Europe could be doing the same thing. But they will never grow any balls. Not even pea-sized ones.
I think the UK did a lot of the heavy lifting. There were at least 6 planes flew out of the UK to make sure nothing happened.
They need to send ships. You can’t take a ship with planes.
The ship was forced to turn around and head south towards the UK. I don’t know if that’s the desination, but if US forces landed on the ship, I guess they are in control.
Well, foccusser, they had to wait so they could legally get the 107 blue eyed blond female teenagers. They wouldn’t be allowed to keep them if they captured them in the wrong waters.😎.
