Russia makes an international piracy example of Estonia!The criminal West (well at least the daft Europeans) was recently betting on the Russians being forced into a 30-day ceasefire in Istanbul (or face "devastating sanctions") to give the struggling Ukrainian military a breather so as to reorganize, arm up, and generally improve its dwindling performance on the battlefields.
But Russia flatly rejected such a dumb proposal because the loser cannot dictate such things as they can always surrender!
Failure for Russia to agree to this proposal was supposed to end in “devastating sanctions” against Russia which included a “ban” on their “shadow fleet” engaged in trade around the world.
Of course, America was a lot more low-key about this “devastation” because they knew too well that Russia can more than protect its fleet from pirates… and piracy it would be because it is illegal to board and redirect ships sailing in international waters as they go about their daily trade.
The funny part of this story is that a little Baltic state by the name of Estonia (emboldened by NATO membership) must’ve gotten confused by assuming that these American “devastating sanctions” had come into effect; given that the Istanbul meeting had failed, and went about enforcing them some 2-3 days ago!

I did have a short funny video of this “enforcement” as the Russian tanker crew completely ignored the daft Estonians and even summoned a Russian fighter jet to come to their aid, but I can’t seem to find it now.

Anyway, here’s that story according to the Ukraine press:
"Russian fighter jet 'violated NATO territory' after Estonia tried to detain 'shadow fleet' tanker"https://kyivindependent.com/russian-jet ... et-tanker/Alright, so that ended pretty embarrassingly for the Estonians who were flabbergasted that Russia would violate “NATO airspace” to protect its interests!

And here’s the even funnier part…

Russia now determined to make an example of Estonia; that nobody can touch Russian maritime interests without repercussions, today successfully ceased an Estonian Tanker and detained it, and lo and behold no Estonian protection came to its aid!
Vladimir is now probably grateful to the daft Estonians who in their haste foolishly created this “hot maritime incident" on which he fully capitalized to teach any other hotheads out there that Russia will not tolerate any monkey business against its fleet of tankers/ships thus eliminating the ONE and only “card” the West assumed they had, on Russia!
https://avia-pro.net/news/rossiya-zader ... iz-estoniiToday the West has finally learned that they have
ZERO cards with-which to leverage Russia, and that the Ukraine’s capitulation is both unavoidable and imminent!
Yet another case of Putin playing chess as the West is still struggling with checkers/draughts!

There’s no question that Vladimir Putin is Russia’s greatest asset!
