North London (outer)

Following on from the capture of Venezualan president Nicholas Maduro last weekend, the US has said in the last few minutes that it has seized a tanker linked to Venezuelan oil in the North Atlantic. In the last few days the tanker has changed its name and is now flying a Russian flag.

Earlier, several military aircraft were tracked heading towards the vessel, the Marinera. Footage released by Russian media also appears to show a US vessel close to the ship

The tanker is around 120 miles south of Iceland and recently changed course

The ship is accused of breaking US sanctions and shipping Iranian oil - it's historically transported Venezuelan crude oil but reports say it's empty at the moment

Reports previously said Russia had deployed a submarine and other vessels to escor* the tanker across the Atlantic.

Could this lead to direct conflict between the USA and Russia?

Highly unlikely.

I think the gangster and wind-bag Trump has no intention of causing a war with his close friend Putin and will carry on with his policy of attacking and some would bullying much weaker targets. This deranged idiot is a coward and will only vent his anger at nations who have not the power to retaliate against the USA.

It seems that RAF planes assisted the USA during this. Russia aren't saying much either.

There's probably more justification for this than there was in the seizing of Maduro.

Latest reports are that the yanks have boarded the ship. I am not at all surprised that Starmer has the RAF assisting these antics, another clown.

Trump is acting like the big school yard bully. All these recent antics should be debated and voted on. He just used these silly executive powers willy nilly. Worrying times indeed. And as for Greenland, wtf?

Anyone on here prepared to say they support Maduro and his left-wing regime? The way he treated his own population was abhorrent. Why just simply attack Trump, maybe he did Venezuela a favour?

It really doesn't matter what we think Trump has or hasn't done.

It's only the American citizens he has to satisfy.

While extorting 50 million barrels of oil as an interim bung for starters from Venezuela .

Robber baron at its best, gone from the oil should be for the benefit of Venezuelan people to it should be of benefit to the Venezuelan people and America

A few weeks back in our towns wetherspoons one of the local well known town characters was sat at table 6 with one of his croanies having lunch

"Old Jeffin" they all called him, cuz his name was Jeffrey and he was always effin n jeffin about Trump Starmah Council tax foreign affairs small boats the Nhs the weather etc etc you name it and he'd have his non stop two penneth worth.

Moan moan moan thats all he ever did

Anyway he'd had his first course with his free pint and they had just taken his plate away and put his steaming red hot apple crumble n custard in front of him

When BANG .... SPLOSH !

The big boss up above decided old jeffins time was up and he nose dived into his desert with such force he smashed the bowl with his conk

The coroner recorded a massive heart attack as the cause of death

He apparently had a history of stress ??

The old bloke who was sitting with him at the time of departure said that he'd been moaning about the weather and how long his dessert was taking to arrive then mid sentence he nose dived and nutted his untouched piping hot pud

The Moral of this story....

Chill out relax whatever happens happens

Dont worry about what trump or putins doing

Smile be happy

Don't have a good day have a fantastic day !

Tomorrow belongs to no one

I disagree. The justification for removing Maduro and claiming to be running Venezuela and their oil industry is based on extremely flimsy evidence, and has been carried out with zero authority. It's completely unjustified.

Seizing the oil tankers is a different matter altogether. They're been running oil between Iran, Russia and Venezuela, against international sanctions. There's the justification for actions carried out by the US and the RAF.

No one will argue with you on that point though I don’t think anyone knows what China is in possession of but we do know that China has 3 times the number of soldiers than the US has. The number of nuclear weapons is irrelevant, every nuclear power has many times more missiles than would be required to obliterate the planet Earth.
