U.S. seizes Russian oil tanker; Russia threatens attacks on US ships

[Starmix]

According to the report, US forces have seized the Oil Tanker Bella 1/ Marinera off the northern coast of Scotland, with Russian forces present. Using elements of the 160th SOAR and the US Special Forces, the vessel was boarded and the crew detained.

The report stated that Russian forces, who were reportedly present in the area, did nothing to stop the ship from being seized, but Russian deputy Duma members are now calling for Russia to conduct attacks and sink US ships as a response.

The report added that the US also seized the M/T Sophia in the eastern Caribbean in an identical operation. European nations have been meeting throughout the day about what to do about the US threats to annex Greenland.

Additionally, Danish forces in Greenland have been ordered that any unauthorized US actions in Greenland are to be fired upon due to the risk that it could be the beginning of a military annexation of the region.

On the other hand, the Revolution is ongoing strongly in Iran, with the situation still spiraling out of control. Syria is also entering its second civil war as fighting between the SDF and SIG forces escalates, with the Syrian Interim Army declaring the SDF enemy forces.

Two thoughts here....

(1) The Russians can go spit; their supposed tanker was flying the Russian colors s a flag of convenience and as such wasn't entitled to their protection, and (2) the boat was wanted for violating U.S. and international sanctions so good on the Coasties for seizing it (and hopefully one day the U.S. will reinstitute prize awards for seizing such boats).

I salute the US forces, the ganker was huge, and since it violates the US affairs, the move to seize the tanker was priceless. Putin might have spent sleepless nights imagining his tanker now in the USA..
