Now that attacks on the "grey fleet" of tankers Lloyds of London will
now remove tankers coverage in the Russian trade.
A long overdue action.

New info; apparently they are sailing with a restricted
insurance policy. It may insure the cargo and crew but not the
ship itself.
The alternative sink a loaded ship in the Indian Ocean.

They have insurance, just not insurance from LLoyds.
And considering the US and Europe support Zelensky and he's attacking Russian tankers in the Black Sea, then they should just shut up.
Not to mention the U.S. conspires to invade Venezuela and rob that country of 19 tln in resources.
Not to mention they blew up Nordstream pipeline as well.

Don't talk about the environment, when you blew up Nordstream, attack Venezuela to rob it, and empower Zelensky to attack oil tankers in the Black Sea.

http://www.lloydslist.com/LL1154189/More-than-90-of-shadow-fleet-ships-are-producing-insurance-certificates-when-challenged

The Europeans are the most pathetic bunch of baboons you ever saw.
Equivalent of a tantrum, when they can't do a damn thing while Russia punches Ukraines face repeatedly.

And Zelensky, each time he come on the TV, imagine he has 2 Black eyes, a broken nose, blood streaming down his face, and he is telling you he's 'negotiating' with a mouth full of broken teeth and bleeding gums.

Go ahead Zelensky 'negotiate'.
And cop a few more punches in the mouth and another couple of broken teeth.

It's like a proper fight, the man is down on the canvas, spewing blood everywhere screaming 'lets negotiate'.

Punch, punch, punch in the head some more, you want to keep going?
'You really like negotiating' don't you.

The West has no leverage.
It's pathetic.

'You just lost Kupiansk, Huliapole, Siversk, Lyman's under attack, as is Konstantinivka, Orikhiv soon, and not a damn thing Ukraine or the West can do to stop it.

Unconditional surrender, or just keep feeling the pain.

Go Russia.

Not to mention the US works to restore the rightful government to power in Venezuela.

There you go. Fixed it for you.

No it's not hypocritical.
Just confusing for you the same way you say you're a Christian but stand with genociders and those who murdered women kids and whole families.

Did you see the latest IDF NAZI death squad video by chance?
- No, I bet not, pretend you haven't and look away bible boy.

The U.S. supports Israel, doesn't care how many Palestinians die.
The U.S. supports Ukraine, doesn't even care how many Ukrainians die.
You see a common factor there numbnut?

I don't support the U.S. endless wars for Israel
And I don't support their imperialist nature using sanctions and overthrows to install puppet rulers.

Anyone who falls for the 'official narrative' on anything these days would have to be mentally retarded.
(That means you)

"US works to restore the rightful government to power in Venezuela."
- Rightful being the installed puppet ruler that allows U.S. oil companies to loot another nations soverign wealth like it belongs to them?
So they can lower the oil price and control inflation while Uncle Trumps literally detonates exploding diarrhea in shites the bed?
Venezuela can only have it's own oil as long as its via U.S. companies and U.S. determines bpd so it can have some control on oil prices?

What about the West trying to support the 'rightful government under Chavez'
- Same cracked regime change record.
The rightful government is the one who works for American interests, not Venezuelans, unless you think a countries best interests include, pulling your anus apart really wide on a daily basis so someone else can put their hand up there and use you as a sock-puppet?
- Maybe that's your thing mhaze, none of my business.

I've never claimed to be a Christian. But don't let mere facts get in the way of your rant AC.... you never have before.

"Did you see the latest IDF NAZI death squad video by chance?"

No. Where was it posted from...Poland? Bangladesh? But you'll keep falling for it.

"No it's not hypocritical."

So you say. And then proceed to show more hypocrisy. If you can't see that it hypocritical to bemoan every Palestinian death and cheer every Ukrainian death then there's little I can explain to you.

""US works to restore the rightful government to power in Venezuela."
- Rightful being the installed puppet ruler"

No rightful being the people who overwhelmingly won the last election in Venezuela.

"pulling your anus apart really wide on a daily basis so someone else can put their hand up there and use you as a sock-puppet?"

Whenever AC realises he's on the wrong side of correct, he becomes monumentally deranged and more than a little creepy

- Reminds me of this video from a few days back.

Israel & Zionist Viciously Turn On Piers Morgan!
http://youtu.be/wyTE7Z_kGkU

Israeli spokeswoman "Israel IS NOT killing children! Hamas is using them as human sheilds!"

And I'm like really? Enough of the bullshite already.
It's like people tell the lies so much they actually believe it.
Even worse is they actually expect others to believe it and carry on when others don't buy their lie..

You remember Covid don't you.
Same thing, big fat load of tripe.
Yet 90% believed the lies, went along with it.
Everyone turned on everyone, then pretended they didn't.
I'm vaccine and booster free yet the garbage I copped...

I don't support U.S. sanctions as they're collective punishment
And I don't support overthrows to install puppet rulers.
End of story, move on nothing more to see here.

Which was exactly what happened in Ukraine.
And as for what happens now in Ukraine, don't whinge to me about it like I'm responsible.
I said in the beginning I supported diplomacy, dialogue and compromise over conflict.
But the West wanted its war, so it got one.

And if you have a problem with that, go read the policy documents
http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RR3000/RR3063/RAND_RR3063.pdf

And Western morons like yourself weren't opposing the conflict so much until they started losing. The same idiots you listen too would prefer the war continued for another 10 years probably because they're all getting kickbacks into their crypto accounts.
I just want it over faster.

You were all for waving the Ukrainian flag and beating the drums of war when they were talking all this rubbish about taking back Crimea.

And you are the one who screams all the bs moral outrage when you have no humanity at all, evidenced by your lack of caring when Palestinians are killed. So don't pretend you care about any human life, when you don't.

You can't 'fake' caring about 'any people' mhaze.
When you already passed up an opportunity to demonstrate your humanity.

No go ahead mhaze, explain it.

You are the one who fails to understand the Palestinians have a legal right to fight oppression and occupation, and you are the one who supports overthrowing other governments.

So lets get past that, and why don't you explain why I'm hypocritical.
I think you'll tie yourself in knots trying to explain your own position.

In your mind it's perfectly fine for Israel to kill women, kids, journalists, doctors, first responders, but Russia is wrong for events in Ukraine.

The war in Gaza didn't start on October 7, Israel had it coming but I'm sure Israel allowed it to happen;
Was there an order for IDF to stand down for 6 hours?
This is the most secure border on the planet, not even a cockroach can pass unnoticed, but October 7 was allowed to unfold for 6 hours without a response.
And it was US and NATO that wanted to advance to Russia's doorstep, using Ukraine as it's proxy after the U.S. invested 5bln in USAID assisted by Soros Open Society Foundation, so they had it coming too.

How would Aussies feel if the U.S. spent 5 billion trying to overthrow Australia?
You turn a blind eye when it happens to others but how would you act if it was done to us?
If Aussies were starving eating cats and dogs, and foreign aligned opposition blamed our government for it, while they were in Uncle Sams pocket working to sell the country out for U.S. oil companies.

They already stole Venezuelas gold reserves.
No Venezuelan should be going hungry.
The West engineers it, then their girl Machado whips up dissent and civil unrest blaming Maduro.
When do the Wests silly games actually sink into your stupid shallow brain?

Like a million dead Ukrainians hasn't let it dawn upon you that the west is nothing but a hostile, meddling enity hell bent on dictating how everyone else should exist under their dictates.

"No go ahead mhaze, explain it."

I already did..."Rather hypocritical of AC, n'est pas. Talk Gaza and he clothes himself in moral outrage at any Palestinian deaths. Talk Ukraine and he cheers deliriously every civilian death."

And it went over your head, as usual.

"In your mind it's perfectly fine for Israel to kill women, kids, journalists, doctors, first responders, but Russia is wrong for events in Ukraine."

I've never said that. What I have said is that these are wars and in wars people, including civilians die. As regards the war on the Russian Steppes, I've said from the outset that I hope both sides lose. And it seems they both are.

AC we know you're rabidly antisemitic all the way back to your Arjay days and probably way before that. And we know you're an apologist for all authoritarian regimes. So its hardly surprising that you oppose Israel and support Russia. But don't pretend your attempts to clothe yourself in moral garb isn't the height of hypocrisy.

- Yeah ok, now would you like to show me where I did that?

Or why don't you just admit that you made that part up.
Make something up that I never said and then use that made up bs argument to call me a hypocrite.

Russians don't target women and kids, unlike Israel.

"As regards the war on the Russian Steppes, I've said from the outset that I hope both sides lose. And it seems they both are."
- Russia will achieve all of it's military goals.

Perhaps the U.S. is not the most powerful military in the world after all.

That's a metaphor for how badly the Ukrainian military are losing.
And a jibe at how the West acts like it can dictate terms when they're losing and have no leverage, and no ability to change the course of the war on the battlefield
Then talk as though they are winning, when they don't get to actually dictate anything..

The Ukrainians can't take back territory.
The lack the manpower, lack drones, lack air support.
The Russians just attack along the front with small groups of 3's 6's and 9's. guided by surveillance drones, then other drones sometimes optic fiber drones which can't be jammed attack any Ukrainian positions, as well as create an entire killzone across a wide area and ambush any infantry fighting vehicles or support that comes to provide assistance or reinforcements to Ukrainians under siege along the line of contact and the small Russian teams overrun the Ukrainian positions.

Don't forget the TOS systems, the FAB glide bombs and Iskanders.

And using sea drones on Russian oil tankers has just ensured that Russia likely will take Odessa, and Ukraine will lose it's ports and become a landlocked country.

Ukraine aren't going to surrender territory which is now Russian by the Russian constitution and even Putin cannot bargain it away, so Ukrainians will just have to keep dying for nothing until Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharson are liberated at least.

When you're down on the canvas getting your face punched in you'd don't have the option of saying,
'Excuse my my good man how about we negotiate things over a nice brandy'
No you either submit and tap out, or you keep getting punched in the head.

Do you get the metaphor now?
Nothing at all to do with jumping up and down gleefully celebrating civilian casualties.

Even when Ukrainian civilians die, I don't feel good about it.
It's sad that any non combatants pay a price in other peoples wars.
Ukraine should not put military targets in civilian areas.
Do I accuse them of using civilians as human shields?
I could make that argument, but you don't know if a particular place that was hit was an actual military target, or whether it was a falling missile or interceptor.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanaa_funeral_airstrike
The Sanaa funeral airstrike took place on the afternoon of 8 October 2016 when 155 people were killed and at least 525 more wounded when two airstrikes, about three to eight minutes apart, hit the packed Al Kubra hall in Sanaa, Yemen during a funeral.

Saudi's did this double ap strike on a funeral with U.S weapons
Israel did it every day for the last 2 years.

America, bombs for profits.
Like they have any moral standing.

Did you see the Russians aim at a block of flats on purpose?
Answer - No they didn't.

You do realise that when Russia fires missiles that it takes at least 2 patriot interceptors to have any decent % chance of successfully shooting down that Russian missile, where does all the shite fall if successful, and where do the interceptors fall if unsuccessful?
Maybe you think the missiles are 'woke' and you think they just magically land with parachutes in a designated safe space.

Answer - Yes they did.
If Ukraine puts a group of NATO military contractors or mercenaries up in someplace to stay, where do they put them?
You do realise that majority of Ukrainians have left and that these places are half empty.
You also do realise that it's against international law to place military targets amongst civilian areas but Ukraine has been doing this since the beginning?

I think all you people must be racist.
Seems perfectly fine for you Bezza and mhaze as well when Israel kills Palestinian women and kids, no tantrums there, but suddenly if Russia kills an innocent Ukrainian woman or kids, then suddenly THAT human life matters.

Is it because only white people matter?

Like I said to mhaze, you're full of shite too.
You don't care about innocent peoples lives, you just hate Russia.
If you actually possessed humanity and cared for the lives of innocents you'd have said something about what Israel does.

But perhaps killing women and kids if they're blown and Muslim, is perfectly acceptable.
And you wonder why the Muslims hate us and want to stab people.
Maybe it's your selective hatred that they find offensive, standing with Israel in support of the things that nation does.

I still watch Ukraine war updates every day.

You think that Lloyds is the worlds only maritime insurer?
It a bit like swift payment system.
- Lever to try to control others.

It's not against the law for Russia to pump oil.
Also not against the law to trade with others in their own currencies outside of Swift.
Also not against the law to travel in international waters.

Any effort to stop or board these Russian oil tankers is piracy.

But that's what you get with the West, a bunch of high school children, thinking up Grade 9 level plots to think themselves smart. People who act like -'You're not my friend' and to my other friends, 'if you talk to Russia then you are not my friend either'.

Yeah I know, I watched Israel drop a dozen 14 story buildings full of people within the space of 20 seconds after October 7.

If Israel collectively pushishes Palestinians and breaks every 'crime against humanity' rule in the book somehow that's completely justified, but If Russia targets foreign enemy compatants or NATO military contractors that's somehow wrong.

No matter where interceptors fall, The Ukrainian or Western line is that Russia did it on purpose.
Better still the European women leaders are screeching about it, but the same group stay silent when Israel does 10 times worse.

Don't either of you talk to me about hypocricy.
You pair parrot that screeching EU female leaders hypocrisy.

"Russia's economy is in tatters and they are using chips from washing machines and human wave tactics!"

Really? Why is Ukraine losing then with the assistance of the U.S. plus 31 NATO countries and more

It was never about Ukraine winning on the battlefield.
The plot was to screw Russia over with sanctions and use opposition and student groups headed up by people like Navalny to create civil unrest, bring protesting Russians out into the street and force Putin's ousting.

Why does the West always have a 'legitimate government in exile' for all these countries it hates and wants regime changes?

Again, 14 year old school girls antics.

I hear the wests moving against Russian shadow fleet is being headed by Macron, and he's trying to pressure Russia NOT TO take out the Ukrainian electricity grid, which is getting close to being destroyed beyond repair completely.
It will only take a few more missile and drone barrages.

Also I saw something earlier where a U.S. official stated they can't afford to fire 2 million dollar interceptors at five hundred dollar drones.
That's the West effectively saying they can't defend against mass drone and missile attacks.
Let that sink in while you think about Zelensky and EU other Westsern leaders 'negotiating'.
They have no answer for modern drone warfare.

And dumbarses like ttbn and mhaze want to fight China, when they are the leaders in drone manufacturing and relating tech.

Goldman Sachs says that oil exports from Lukoil and Rosneft are down ~1.1m b/d, but **simultaneosly** exports from other Russian "non-sanctioned companies" are up 1.0m b/d.

"Russian oil trading networks are reorganizing quickly," the bank says.
