jfc, this is how wws start. us + uk seize a ru flagged vessel…
also, why did thet wait until now to seize? they’ve been chasing since it left coast of venz, certianly the us navy can stop a 300Ktonne oil tanker at will?

sal has a good video on this ship and the “chase”:
sal mentions one of the ships used in the venz maduro operation was a civilian vessel (“mv” motor vessel), not a “navy ship” usNS.
but who cares? why does he think it might be a concern?
Sanctioned Tanker Marinera (the former Bella 1) – Russian-flagged and Heading Eastbound and Down!
also interting ionfo on flags of registry, changing, etc. apparently can change if ownership changesx, even in middle of voyage, which apparently happeneded? the marinara / bella 1 is now in the offical rsuusin regsitry, and in order to get officoal, must be owned by russians.
