Hey, you're LordAdam. Not LordOver All lives so don't for once assume that you're special. How dare you ask why I quoted you?
The seizure itself cannot happen was your handwriting. If you could actually read English you would have known that you stood in no place to dictate to no one what can and cannot happen. At least you would have employed the element of objectivity in your assessment. Now you're coming up with this lame excuse? Even if they boarded before the mighty Russians arrival, what stopped them from engaging the Americans and driving them off the ship.
you wan make military analyst block you abi..........🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lord wey dey change mouth 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The US under Trump is dangerously escalating tension. Seizing an oil tanker in international water is tantamount to piracy. I wonder how Putin still see them as mediator & are willing to negotiate peace & ceasefire agreement with them.

This is what happens when you don't match escalation with escalation and prefer to play the good/humble guy character. Your adversary/enemy/competitor will take you as a full. From the bombing of fishing boats in Venezuelan waters, I expected Moscow & Beijing to show massive naval solidarity to Caracas.
sinking a vessel in international water is called what sirhuh

Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Alexei Chepa

International law is dead and does not protect anyone now. Complaints about violations of international law in the current realities are like complaints in the late 30s that Nazi Germany was violating the League of Nations Charter. Of course, you can pretend that it exists, but this is just a pleasant self-deception.

We will deal with this US arbitrariness. Let's wait a bit
putin has no choice but to act
same way there are pissed russian honchos baying for a just retaliation
you have chinese mandarins demanding xi end his passivity

international law and norms is over
dem putin and xi don try with their "respect for international order"
dey have no choice but to confront

just when you think you've seen it all, a 🤡 with a negative iq takes the cake

learn to read
there were no russians in the vicinity of the marinera
it is right there in your own western reports
so which ghosts do you expect to drive who off the ship

quote me with another i***tic comment and you'll be sanctioned
that is what the block feature is for

Don't come here crying about international law when Russia seizes another US bound tanker.

We already know your celebration will be short lived, that is why we're chill.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 6:30pm On Jan 07
The Maduro capture is getting to their head, they're feeling invincible and overconfident.

But one great slap from Russia will bring them back to reality.

⚡White House says seizure of Russian-flagged tanker "was a Venezuelan shadow fleet vessel" that was deemed "stateless after flying a false flag."

i dey share sanctions
you can misyarn like him
i assure you, i don't discriminate

to the point, fa
you don't go around fire expecting not to sweat
this is geopolitics
putin has been doing go slow in ukraine and has paid a price for that
iran wasn't vigilant prior to the 12d war and paid a steep price for that
after the first couple of seizures, i and many here opined the axis had to deploy naval forces to the consternation of many
they failed to do so on time, well today happened

they'd finally correct their error
but if you choose to be reactionary
you'd have to take it in stride when your opp gives you something unpalatable to react to

This not rant bro. America is playing a dangerous game which might escalate to something tragic. U wan dey observe and enforce James Monroe doctrine in 2026 but you have military formation in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Ukraine. These are countries bordering Russia and China. If I'm Putin, I will order armed ship to escort the next badge of oil tankers heading to Venezuela. Give them absolute order to engage and neutralize any external aggression.
Erdogan should have security guarantee from Moscow. Supply more S-400. He can move mad against Israel in Syria. Host birthday and wedding anniversary to Houthi, Hezbollah & Hamas leadership in Istanbul. Once Israel strike Turkey, then NATO article five will be buried
Keep ranting. 😂 America playing dangerous game when America is the danger itself. No be to dey do chocho like Russia and China u fit show workings

For all the pro West fanboys quoting me saying that talking about how Putin will not start World War 3 over Venezuela. Y'all are misunderstanding my point. I didn't say Russia or China should deploy troops in Venezuela.
If Washington can do legitimate trade with Philippines, Taiwan, Poland, Ukraine there's nothing stopping Russia or China from conducting transactions with Caracas.

Turkey & Italy were already NATO members when Washington decided to station long range missiles that can hit Russian cities. Khrushchev responded by moving missiles to Cuba which forced JFK to withdraw those missiles from Turkey. When your opponent escalate you follow am escalate. There's no middle ground. Today KIEV is not a NATO member state yet some of this missiles are stationed in Ukraine where NATO is using it to attack Russia.

Russia is under biting economic sanctions imposed by the West. The gas pipeline they're using to pipe gas to EU via Berlin was destroyed by NATO. Hence they're making use of oil tankers to ship oil and gas to countries they can't connect through pipelines. Attacking and seizing Russian commercial oil vessels is a redline to Moscow.
Russia biggest revenue come from energy export..

they realize all they're doing is provocation that deserves a harsh response
but their entire bet, from the nvb 🤡🤡🤡 here to their masters in washington is

putin and xi will not start ww3 because of [insert provocation here]
you assassinate their generals
kidnap their vassals
seize their vessels
even attempt to assassinate the tsar
but they will keep shining their teeth while you continue to escalate
a country with a missile that can stay airborne for months

the dictionary has a word for it
hubris

russia will respond and everyone will accept it was a long time coming

LordAdam16:
how exactly will escalations be managed?

washington is unhinged
and the hardliners in the axis will demand more from putin and xi
we will have a clash before things can even potentially simmer down

na xi wen never get with the program

-Lord
Escalations can be managed when both parties involved come to the realization that "if they don't stop, not only will they destroy themselves but also the world."

When it comes to Moscow, Washington acts very rational. They can only become unhinged to small countries that they can bully.
Don't let this ship issue make you believe that the U.S is ready to carryout provocative measures that will lead to a direct confrontation with Russia.

I still maintain my stance and I'll wait patiently for Russia's counter to these geopolitical games.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Masterviolence(m): 7:49pm On Jan 07
The next theater of war is the Sahel region.

The U.S is planning to counter Russia's growing influence in Africa.
I've been saying it that war is coming and it's about time.
Those military juntas should brace up.

First step. Assassination attempts.

they've targeted russian energy infrastructure
targeted russian primary means of energy export
targeted russian nuclear triad
targeted russian generals
targeted putin himself

nothing about that is rational

and russia will eventually say f*ck it
they'll just tell xi it's about to go down, don't wait for a response, and f*ck sh*t up

At some point, Pres. Putin said fvuk it but after series of negotiations he tracked back on those steps.
