Three Takeaways From Trump's Seizure Of A Russian-Flagged Tanker In The Atlantic
Authored by Andrew Korybko,
The overarching trend is that the US is militarily reasserting its historical “sphere of influence” over the Americas, and enforcing the maritime component of “Fortress America” is so important for Trump 2.0 that it's willing to rubbish the “rules-based order” over it and even risk an accidental war with Russia.
The Russian-flagged Marinera tanker was just seized by the US in the Atlantic. It was earlier named the Bella 1 and is under US sanctions due to connections to Hezbollah. It sailed under the Guyanese flag from Iran to Venezuela and attempted to break the US' blockade. It failed, turned around, changed its name to the Marinera, and received a temporary permit to sail under the Russian flag before being seized. Russian then demanded that its citizens on board be treated humanely and returned home.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted that “The blockade o...

Qatari Embassy Damaged In Russian Drone Strike, Doha Shrugs
We earlier detailed yet another massive overnight Russian strike on Ukraine - including on the capital and the Western city of Lviv, the latter which was hit with a nuclear-capable hypersonic ballistic missile.
More details have emerged Friday as emergency crews assess the damage in Kiev. Notably the Embassy of Qatar in Kyiv appears to have been directly hit, likely by a drone, or else possibly from missile debris.
Residential building struck in overnight attack, via Ukrainian govt handout.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha was the first to announce and confirm that the embassy suffered damage, though without casualties to diplomatic staff or personnel.
Sybiha blasted the Russian attack as a "clear violation of the Vienna Convention" and said Moscow's "brutality" is without bounds, and offered the Zelensky government's full support for Qatar.
Alongside this, Sybiha once again called on NATO to urgentl...

Russia Thanks Trump For Releasing Two Russian Crew From Seized Tanker
Even though the Ukraine war is on a trajectory of escalation, which has included Russia launching a hypersonic ballsitic missile overnight on the western city of Lviv, the United States and Moscow are still finding small areas of understanding and cooperation - keeping the window for improved bilateral relations open. Russia-EU relations have spiraled and are essentially broken, but there's yet still at least a glimmer of hope that ties with Washington could soften or even turn around.
Russia confirmed Friday that the United States had agreed to free two Russian crew members from a Russian-flagged oil tanker seized earlier this week. The vessel Marinera is alleged to be part of the so-called shadow fleet transporting oil for countries including Venezuela, Russia and Iran - and it was intercepted a day ago by the US in the North Atlantic after escaping the southern Caribbean off Venezuela.
It was surprising that the ship wa...

Ukraine Hit With Oreshnik Hypersonic As Retaliation For Attempted 'Terror Attack' On Putin Residence
Russia launched another massive overnight strike on Ukraine using its hypersonic Oreshnik missile as part of a large-scale assault said to be retaliation for the alleged Ukrainian attempt to drone strike Putin's residence last month.
Kiev was hit hard in the fresh missile and drone attack which set apartment buildings on fire and killed at least four people. Importantly, Ukrainian officials said a ballistic missile traveling at hypersonic speed hit an "infrastructure facility" near the far western city of Lviv.
via AFP
Russia's Defense Ministry followed by confirming that it sent an Oreshnik hypersonic missile at "strategic targets" overnight, and specifically described that it was retaliation for the December drone strike on one of the residences of President Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine has rejected that it targeted the residence, and President Trump recently flipped his in...
