Russia has deployed naval vessels, including a submarine, to escort an oil tanker being shadowed by US forces as it moves through the Atlantic, according to reports.
The vessel, formerly known as Bella 1, has been accused of breaching US sanctions by transporting Iranian oil and has since been renamed Marinera and reflagged from Guyana to Russia. It is currently sailing between Iceland and the British Isles and is reporting that it is not carrying oil.
US authorities previously attempted to board the tanker in the Caribbean while it was believed to be bound for Venezuela, holding a warrant to seize the ship over alleged sanctions violations.
After abruptly changing course toward Europe, the tanker’s movements coincided with increased US military activity, including transport aircraft and helicopters. American officials say they would prefer to seize the vessel rather than destroy it, while Russia says it is closely monitoring the situation.
The US needs to keep its hook nose out of everybody else’s business
The days of the US being the worlds policeman are over
On the high seas no state owns the water but every ship does have a nationality
Freedom of navigation is legally guaranteed where the US has no jurisdiction
Such actions all being part of global force projection and in maintaining US hegemony and control
Amidst the backdrop and overture of furthering aspirations to imperialist ambitions
Being eclipsed and stepping into the shadows of an ever emerging and dominant China
As I understand, the tanker has now been seized by US special forces.
This is piracy and no good will come of it.

The US vulture really wants war.
Beware what you wish for
I’m waiting for a tidal wave of a anonymous comments here linking this to the evil international zionist Jooz. Perhaps Sayanyahoo is responsible in some way? C’mon guys what’s holding you back?
Open your eyes and perhaps you will see your evil jew lurking in the background. Happy now troll, get you 7 cents for posting s***
Games by the parasitic monsters that run this so called world.
Russia is going to need to have military on its tankers and provide an escort or Captain Jackoff Sparrowbrain and his jolly mates, are going to keep doing this.
