Was never about the deisel. Was always about removing bipartisan sanctions from Pooty-poot to generate money for him to murder more children. Straight-up evil.
I got banned on reddit when they left port for saying "sure would be a shame if something happened to it, and these losers driving diesel who voted for this get no relief"
"Inciting violence" apparently.
At least I get my wish. Funny that.
I feel dirty even saying it, but it's honestly pretty funny that Putin shipped 140,000 tonnes of diesel into the middle of the Atlantic just to pull a fake out move.
they will have another buyer lined up probably in South America or Africa, where the sanctions aren't as common
Would 6 hours of diesel do much anyways?
Weren't some ports banning or banned from accepting the Russian oil?
It was all just a stunt for the election anyway. Now that it's over, they don't need it anymore and Trump can stop pretending he gives a shit about the fuel prices again.
My first thought: that's ridiculous...
But then I recall the vile man has done lots of ridiculous stunts.
Fuck Russia and fuck their oil.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were empty to begin with.
Maybe they've detoured to Cuba.
Default Donny probably hasn't paid the invoice.
The diesel is sanctioned, no one would touch it just because Donny Shitzenpants said it was cool
He is infamous for not paying contractors after all
Donnie Low T has propably alrady paid the invoice double and triple, lest the russians do release the golden shower tape, and god knows what else
Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
Well, how is it untypical?
Well, there's a lot of these ships going around the world all the time and very seldom does anything like this happen. I don't want anyone thinking that tankers aren't safe.
For one, the front isn't supposed to fall off.
STRAIGHT U-TURNIN THAT BITCH
Uh oh!
They figured it's hopeless
Why are they heading into the Med? Egypt?
The Black Sea is how Russia does a lot of its shipping.
Okay, so to be blown up by the Ukrainians in the deadliest waters in the world.

Ukraine is not going to spill 140k tonnes of diesel in their front yard.
I wonder if they were actually loaded or if this was just a stunt.
Most likely so they hit it and Russia can say Ukraine hit a US asset
Don't tease me.

- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.

Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
