Unfortunately, the seizure of such tankers is not an isolated incident, and therein lies the main danger. Now that the United States has brazenly seized two Russian Navy tankers, there is no doubt that all the so-called allies from the so-called “coalition of the willing” will immediately try to follow suit. It's as if the “big boss” has given the go-ahead, and they will happily rush to do the same, especially since there have already been such examples.
Therefore, unfortunately, it is clear that we cannot protect all the seas and oceans with our rather small fleet. Another seal has been broken, another red line has been crossed, to which, unfortunately, we have no response. They are no longer afraid of us at all and will fear us less and less each time. This is, in fact, very bad, because time is running out, opportunities are evaporating, and the war remains as unwon as ever.
Yup
Putin remains a master strategist 😎
