The Panamanian-flagged and Turkish-owned oil tanker, M/T MERSIN, alleged to be affiliated with the Russian Shadow Fleet, is currently sinking off the coast of Dakar, Senegal in Western Africa, after reportedly coming under attack overnight by several uncrewed surface vessels, in possibly the third attack in the last week by Ukrainian Intelligence Services against a tanker linked to Russia.

The Russia-Ukraine war will go on for another 10 years

As long as there are a few radical Nazi-Azovs still alive in bunkers in Lviv, Brussels-Davos-London will use their intel services to give them intel and weapons to carry out such asymmetric (some say “terrorist”) attacks.

Sounds like an environmental disaster brought to you by Ukraine.

The oil slicks will be YUGE, and the beach damage will be visible from space.

Ukraine ping

If indeed a Ukrainian operation, an impressive win for Ukraine’s operators. Brings to mind the unlimited submarine warfare and naval mining of WW2 that took out 80% of Japan’s commercial shipping, but without an expeditionary navy and air force that was then the largest in the world.

The brilliant Ukrainians and their Neocon/Globalist advisors must have just read ‘HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE’. Geniuses! /sarc

So, you think it is fine for Russia to bomb civilians every night? You must if you don’t attack Russia here.

Beware of UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. Perhaps it will dawn on the Russians that for the security of their vital shipping lanes the Ukrainians must now NEVER be allowed to have control of ANY land next to or anywhere near to the coast of the Black Sea.

Just sayin’.

Why? We are Americans. So they are going to have to fight it out themselves.

Yet somehow the environment survived the sinking of hundreds of tankers during WWII.

FDR was able to have a military of about 12 million people supported by a population of about 140 million.

Russia has a population of about 125 million. Russia is going to be able to field 700,000 men in Ukraine.

The greenies are crazy. Some of them know how to get to Brussels, literarily and figuratively.

You didn’t have a tracking cell phone on you. We think you are a partisan. You will be the guest of Russia. Enjoy at least part of a Siberian winter.

HA: [Beware of UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. Perhaps it will dawn on the Russians that for the security of their vital shipping lanes the Ukrainians must now NEVER be allowed to have control of ANY land next to or anywhere near to the coast of the Black Sea.

From the start, Putin pushed for the Polish border. If the West were convinced that Russia’s goals were limited to the Donbass, no aid would have been given to Ukraine. Instead, the Russian army lunged at Kiev and Kharkov, looked at an amphibious landing at Odessa before deciding its tiny Black Sea fleet would have trouble protecting its own shipping, let alone protecting a landing force.

Russia’s appetite is limitless. Its means are not.

10 years? It could go on much longer. Ukrainians are fighting for their existence. Russians are fighting for Putin’s glory and existence.

“10 years? It could go on much longer.”

Madame Ukrainian:

It is not the fault of Russia that the Ukrainians refuse to pay their taxes to support you and your children, or to pay for your medical care. If you can positively identify an insurgent, money can be paid from our petty cash box.

“Its means are not.”

The necessary Chinese and used German/Swiss/Japanese machine tools have been acquired undoubtedly.

Russia is struggling to get semiconductor production up to possible requirements.
