U.S. Seizes Russian Flagged With Russian Naval Ships Heading Toward It

 

A Déjà vu moment harking back to Cuban Missile Crisis  when Russian ships carrying Russian IRBM’s were headed to Cuba and turned around
On January a reflagged oil tanker as Russian was to Russia bound
Was seized and boarded by U.S.’s seals
So far we have not heard the Russian Bear squeal
Trump is rolling the dice if a Russian flagged oil tanker heads for Cuba escorted by Russian naval ships|
Russia and the U.S. will be entering the path of brinkmanship
And the first steps toward the beginning of World War III
A disaster the world would never want to see
Whereas Putin is blessed with no opposition or dissent
Trump will hobbled by unified Congressional Blues whose opposition they will not relent
Another reason that Russia’s War with Ukraine must come to an end
While raging too many civilians dying and too many chances for escalation of the war to send
