Well, it looks like the movement of oil is starting to lock up, which will SKYROCKET the cost of gasoline/diesel in Europe.
Sure hope the Europeans are able to continue to understand that their BIG-TIME suffering is necessary to ‘stick it to Putin’ (even if it is making Russian rich).

No wonder his shipmates considered him unfit for command.

The leader clearly is inclined to, but he could be told to stand down by shipping magnates

Yeah, like the rest of Europe, they simply didn’t consider the cost of trying to be ‘cute’. I doubt this type of piracy will continue.

This will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it. /Hunt for Red October
Hope I’m wrong. Very wrong.

The guys at The Duran seem to think that the Greek shipping magnates are going to have something to say about all this.
I think this latest incident is going to make them pull Mitsotakis' chain real hard.

That’s 3 oil tankers seized in the past 24 hours, with possible further escalation and instability in the Persian Gulf.
Do you think Gasoline prices are going to skyrocket much more soon?

He's got nice hair.
I'm sure that impressed the enemy in the 'Nam.

Yeah, I’m afraid it has. 😔
First it starts regional, then lines are drawn, foreign combatants on distant soil, ships being seized.
Escalation upon escalation.

Yep, I watch the same. Funny how they’re able to cut through all of the LIES from the Western Media...but then again, those lies secured $40B, so they were effective.
In this case, like I said, the Greeks will now be done being bitches for the Neocons. If the Neocons need more bitches, many on this site would surely volunteer.
