Quote from: Tamas on Today at 08:26:56 AMNot even sure which one of the crisis threads to put this in but apparently the Russian said oil tanker which earlier fled boarding near Venezuela by sporting a Russian flag and had been expecting Russian Navy escorts back to Murmansk, is being boarded by US forces

Quote from: Tonitrus on January 06, 2026, 04:37:40 PMWe basically allow the heads of criminal gangs to run their operations from prison. No reason Maduro couldn't do the same.You also allow heads of criminal gangs to run their operations from Mar-a-Lago.![]()
Quote from: celedhring on Today at 04:56:06 AMQuote from: Tonitrus on Today at 04:21:29 AMThe American "forces" there are probably just an undermanned (we usually always are, in balance of the missions required) US Air/Space Force unit supporting a Cold War-era early warning station. None of the personnel there would be at all effective in taking over Greenland.
Well, if they ever get serious about this, the first move will be to beef up that base.

Quote from: Tamas on Today at 03:38:07 AMQuote from: Richard Hakluyt on Today at 02:54:15 AMThe oil price has fallen by about 20% in the past year (in dollar terms, the dollar has also fallen) and there are fears of an oil glut. I don't think that the oil companies would want lots of Venezuelan oil entering the market right now, it would damage their profits.
I guess the only flipside of all this, if any of Trump's so-called plan would ever happen, is that tanking the price of oil would hurt Putin.
