Now that the Russians are helpless to do anything to prevent this kind of monetisation of sanction enforcement, this will develop into quite a nice cottage industry for coastal jurisdictions. But as these vessels have no insurance, it will be interesting to see if anyone shows up with the bond.
quote:
Belgium has imposed a €10 million bail on the tanker Ethera, a vessel belonging to Russia’s so-called shadow fleet, after it was detained by Belgian forces in early March.
Inspectors discovered numerous irregularities during the inspection, including issues with the vessel’s flag registration and documentation.
The tanker will only be allowed to leave port after the financial guarantee is paid, inspections are completed, and the vessel obtains valid certification and a proper flag.
Until then, the 21-member crew must remain on board. The crew consists of a Russian captain, seven officers, and thirteen additional sailors, most of whom are of Indian origin.

Here we go. I guess shutting down Telegram wasn't just an unrelated incident after all.

It’s refreshing to see this administration focus on important things like Iran and not Ukraine.
I’m so so happy the funds to Ukraine have mostly dried up.

What’s the official fatality rate up to now for both sides?
I saw a report from the CSIS saying that the death ratio for Ukraine was 5:1 and 3:1 for Russia

Seeing how easily we can decapitate heads of state, it really does boggle the mind that Zelensky is still in power. How has Russia not been able to get someone in range of zelensky and start a chain of assassination at the top to destabilize Ukraine.

The Law of Unintended Consequences...
Russia sent a lot of troops into Ukraine in 2022 and gets bogged down in a slugfest.
Russia cannot prop up Syria, Assad falls.
Iran has no threat via Syria to Israel.
Iran gets whacked good and its Russian S300's shown to be of no use by Israel F35s, then it gets bombed by the US
Now Iran is getting pounded while Russia and China bug out and of no help.
In the meantime, Russia cannot help its allies in Central Asia so the US gets peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan who now lean to the West.
China and Russia booted out of Venezuela.
I really don't think that any of this happens without Russia large scale invasion in 2022

Oh, they've tried many times. GUR kill teams were in place in Kyiv before the invasion started, but because the CIA warned the Ukrainains and gave them names and addresses, these Russians are no longer in communication.
More assassins have been sent afterwards and the FSB has sent and hired assassins as well. All with the same results.
The GUR even used four drones to try to attack Zelensky's plane when it approached the Dublin airport. But due to the Ukrainian security arranging for the plane to arrive earlier than previously scheduled, the plane landed safely.
Dublin Airport Attempt.

This should be an eye-opener for Western and especially Gulf militaries. To say nothing about a sea change in defense procurement in the world's most free-spending governments. The Ukrainians will leave with orders for about ten year's worth of production and an investment pipeline for all future air defense developments. All at the cost of the US MIC.

Get out the Midol and hot water bags, it's that time of the month again. Every day... quote:
Putin accused Kyiv of preparing to sabotage the Turkish Stream and Blue Stream pipelines and called the Mediterranean tanker attack a terrorist act. He said rising European gas prices are driven by global market conditions, not supply cuts, and that rising oil prices are linked to restrictions on Russian oil. Hungary's FM Szijjarto told Putin that Ukraine has blocked the Druzhba pipeline toward Hungary for several weeks, cutting off oil supplies based on a political decision.
"Hungary's FM Szijjarto told Putin that Ukraine has blocked the Druzhba pipeline toward Hungary for several weeks, cutting off oil supplies based on a political decision."
- No shite. Does this mean all your daily threats to the Ukrainians over the last month didn't work?
But why are you in Moscow? To solve a problem with a Ukrainian pipeline you should be in Kyiv. Unless you're not looking for solutions but just want to whine. Keep this up and all that estrogen will have you in a training bra next week.
With the election next month the Hungarian voters will repair and reopen the Druzhba. Of course, your buddy Putin will just blow it up again, so the Brody pipeline will be used as it should have been when this war first started.

Events in Ukraine do affect US interests. This obviously includes the 4 years of Ukraine resistance and subsequent weakening of the Russian military and economy.

As of today, Russia is not acting as an ally of Iran. Perhaps it would like to, but we have already seen it with Syria, and now we see it with Iran – I believe they simply do not have the capacity for this. All their forces are either buried in Ukrainian soil or engaged in the war against Ukraine.
I am confident that the Russians are supplying the Iranian regime with weapons. We understand that they may be providing electronics for “shaheds.” I think all of this is found in the fragments of the “shaheds” striking the Middle East today. If our partners’ intelligence services share their information, it will be confirmed. Because Iranian “shaheds” contain Russian-made components. This is something we know for certain.
What else might Russia supply to Iran? Air defense systems could be provided – they have plenty of those.

Honestly this speaks more to Russian shortcomings than their battlefield performance. Israel has managed to embed spies in Iran. Russia, in many ways the OG of international espionage, hasn’t been able to kill zelensky despite being in at least the second decade of a plot to absorb Ukraine.

They have tried, but the CIA and Mossad trained Ukraine's intelligence agencies to be complete badasses in the years after the Crimea invasion...
Russians get assassinated quite often, though...
