just saw that news about the russian flagged oil tanker 
and i gotta say its like they thought they could just outsmart us lol...like what even is the point of having sanctions if u can just change ur flag on a whim? 
anyway, glad to see us taking action like this. its not about being aggressive or trying to be a bully, its about enforcing the rules and protecting our interests.

just when you think things can't get more complicated... Russia's trying to outsmart US sanctions by switching oil tankers' flags 
. Guess that's one way to play by international maritime law, but it's also a pretty sneaky move 
. Wonder how long this'll stick, or if it'll be another quick flip in the boat 
Like seriously can't even believe we got that russia flagged tanker and i'm low-key freaking out thinking about how much venezuela is gonna profit from all these sanctions being lifted lol. I mean, the US is like totally on top of their game right now, it's like they're trying to show Russia who's boss 
? And what's up with Russia trying to flag this thing and then act all innocent when the US catches wind of it? 
It just feels like a game of cat and mouse. The global energy market is already super volatile, now we're adding more uncertainty with these moves... 
I just wish they'd figure out a better way to deal with Russia's antics than resorting to dramatic stunts 
Now it's all about sanctions and flags being changed left and right. It's like they're playing some game of cat and mouse, Russia trying to get around US sanctions while the US is like "nope, not on my watch". I'm not sure what the end goal is here, but one thing's for sure, it's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out. And can we talk about how much energy is at stake here? It feels like the whole world is watching, and I'm not mad at that, I love a good thriller. 
just when you think it's safe to go back in the water... another oil tanker gets seized by the US and now Russia is all like "oh noes our tankers" 
it's getting ugly out there, folks. They're trying to circumvent sanctions on Venezuela but the US isn't having it. This is just more proof that tensions between the two are boiling over 
. And what's worse, some oil tankers that were near Venezuela recently changed their flags to Russia, so who knows how many other ones are hiding out there?
