Dette kan bli spennende. Putin må reagere før eller senere tipper jeg. Han tvinges til å beskytte sine egne fartøyer i internasjonalt farvann. Hvilket er en normal reaksjon på ulovlig piratvirksomhet selv om Trump synes det er naturlig gitt fartøyenes ofte falske AIS signaler sågar også at de har "hans" olje ombord. (Red.)
The arrival in England of AC-130 gunships and cargo jets from the home of the Night Stalkers comes as the U.S. may interdict a fleeing oil tanker.

The U.S. military
seized an oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea on Tuesday morning, U.S. Southern
Command announced.
The vessel was
apprehended without incident, and the ship was “operating in defiance of
President [Donald] Trump’s established quarantine of sanctioned vessels,” SOUTHCOM said in a post on X.
“As the joint
force operates in the Western Hemisphere, we reaffirm that the security of the
American people is paramount, demonstrating our commitment to safety and
stability,” the post stated.
The apprehension
of the Motor Vessel Sagitta is the seventh sanctioned tanker seized by U.S.
forces as part of the effort by Trump’s administration to control the
production, refining and global distribution of Venezuela’s oil products.
