Crew Paints Russian Flag On Iran-Linked Tanker To Avoid US Seizure
The weird saga of the US-sought third tanker off Venezuela which was nearly boarded by US forces before fleeing into the Atlantic continues, after US officials have newly revealed more information.
US attempts to intercept the oil tanker Bella 1 in the Atlantic have been complicated after the ship's crew painted a Russian flag on its hull. It has avoided and evaded the US Coast Guard for more than ten days after refusing to comply with an interception near Venezuela on December 21.
Reports based on US officials describe that the crew got creative in their evasion efforts, as they've added a Russian tricolor to the side of the vessel and so are now claiming it is operating under Russian jurisdiction.
This has created new complications, given Washington had secured a court order authorizing the ship's seizure due to its alleged involvement in transporting Iranian crude. But now with the newly displayed flag Russian flag, thi...

The Brits Want The Poles To Contain Russia In The Baltic
Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack,
The Polish Defense Minister announced in late November that his country will buy three A26 Blekinge-class diesel-electric submarines from Sweden as part of a deal estimated to be worth a little less than €2.5 billion.
This comes just several months after their first joint exercise, which presaged closer cooperation against Russia in the Baltic, and also follows reported British lobbying for Sweden over other competing bidders since one of its defense companies is expected to profit from this deal.
Although the US is Poland's closest partner, with which it's working hand-in-hand to geostrategically re-engineer Europe by facilitating the revival of Poland's long-lost Great Power status simultaneously with counteracting Germany's plans to federalize the EU, the Brits are arguably its second-closest one. This was confirmed by the creation of their de facto trilateral alliance with ...

Latvia Hails Completion Of 175-Mile Fence Along Russian Border
Latvia has finally finished building a long anticipated nearly 175-mile fence along its border with Russia, according to regional media on Tuesday, which cited the state-linked company responsible for managing the project.
The fence cost an equivalent of nearly $20 million, and so at that price points to it being defensively minimal and low-tech, however some additional work is still underway on supporting infrastructure - which is expected to include support items such as footbridges over marshy terrain, observation towers, and engineering installations.
Illustrative: fence on the Latvia-Belarus border
The country's Interior Minister Rihards Kozlovskis said Latvia is now deploying advanced surveillance and monitoring systems along the frontier for an eventual "modern border security system" on the European Union's eastern edge.
This will also complement the previously erected 90-mile fence along Latvia's border wi...
