Foreign Affairs › U.S Returns Seized Oil Tanker To Venezuela (Photos) by Kaliningrad(op): 4:18pm On Jan 29

The 🇺🇸 United States has returned an oil tanker it seized earlier this month to Venezuela.

The vessel is the second of seven tankers to be returned to Venezuelan waters, after the 115,000-dwt Olina (built 2005) earlier this month.

The sanctioned 320,100-dwt VLCC M Sophia (built 2004) was one of seven seized so far by US forces as it tries to block unauthorised shipments from the South American country.

Two US officials told Reuters the vessel will be returned for Venezuelan trading. The reason is not clear.

The US Coast Guard, which leads interdiction and seizure operations, has not commented.

The M Sophia was carrying crude when it was intercepted on 7 January by the Coast Guard and the US military.

The ship was described by the US as a “stateless, sanctioned dark fleet motor tanker”. It is not known if the cargo remains on board.

US forces captured the M Sophia after descending onto its deck from a helicopter, footage from US Southern Command shows.

It was reported that the VLCC was listed under the flag state of Panama until this month.

Hahaha you don't even know history.
Yet you are making noise.
Go and read about the Rus.

The Rus were Vikings who settled in a part of Russia, the land you call Ukraine today.

That land Originally belongs to Russia.

You think that clown don't know that?

He's just an attention seeker.

The land grabber playing his cheap victim card to keep the war going. Very bitter thing.

Better than the U.S going from one continent to another looking for who to kill and steal from.

Ukranian lands belong to Russia.

🇺🇸 Seven people were killed and just one person miraculously survived after a private jet flipped upside down and crashed as it was taking off in heavy snow in Maine, officials said Monday.

The twin-engine turbo-fan Bombardier Challenger 600 went up in flames after it went down at Bangor International Airport at about 7:45 p.m. on Sunday during the massive winter storm, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The identities of those on board weren’t immediately available. The jet was registered to a Texas personal-injury law firm.

The sole survivor was a crew member who was left seriously injured, according to officials.

Preliminary details indicated the business jet crashed as it was trying to take off and quickly exploded into flames, investigators said.

Audio from air traffic controllers captured someone saying “aircraft upside down, we have a passenger aircraft upside down” roughly 45 seconds after the jet was cleared to take off.

The cause of the wreck is still under investigation. Snowfall was heavy at the time but only a couple of inches had fallen at that point.

One of the law firm’s founding partners is listed as the registered agent for the company that owns the plane.

The airport was closed immediately after the crash and won’t reopen until at least noon on Wednesday.
