Remember that tanker the Coasties have been following, for days, since it left Venezuela. It has supposedly been re-registered in Russia. Will that stop the Pirate King?

US forces rush to seize Venezuelan oil tanker off Ireland in high-stakes operation

U.S. forces will attempt to capture an oil tanker that has historically carried Venezuelan crude oil off the coast of Ireland, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the plans.

The U.S. has been tracking the Marinera, a tanker formerly known as the Bella 1, since it was sanctioned by the Treasury Department and as the Trump administration ramps up it's crackdown on Venezuela.

So, why has the US waited so long, to snatch it? Was it lack of a boarding party to seize it? Or is the Pirate King wondering if he can bully the UK into letting him steam the hijacked tanker into a UK port, so the ship and cargo can be auctions off, for the Pirate King's profit?

Putin will be pi$$ed. But the Pirate King's loyalty to Putin always seems to end, when it comes to profits for the Pirate King.
