    It is not a blockade. Idiots. So if there is no blockade, it is not “amid US blockade”.

    A blockade is a specific legal thing, an act of war. Where you stop all ships using military means. The US is using legal means to make it very expensive for countries like Mexico to send oil, which is not a blockade.

    So it is not surprising that the US will not stop these Russian ships.

    I wonder how hard it is to seal up a tactical nuke so that it can be submerged in crude oil for a few weeks.

    Now … the last time Russia had ships near Cuba, and was at odds with the US, someone far more level-headed was in the White House.

    There’s a reason Russia (and soviet union) largely has positive image in the third world.

        A broken clock might be showing the correct time twice a day, but you wouldn’t know if you’d only have that broken clock, because it’s broken and useless.

          Agreed; Russia is a terrorist state that has committed atrocities in Ukraine, interfered in the affairs and territorial integrity of its neighbors, and denied its own citizens basic human rights.

          In this rare instance, however, its foreign policy goal of opposing U.S. foreign policy has the side benefit of disrupting one of Trump’s blatant violations of international law. Not because Russia itself cares for a second about international law, though.

      Is this how Ukraine supporters generally think? That it’s good to starve out Cuba?

        Fuel is expensive and Ukraine needs lots of it due to a war Russia started.

        I don’t care what the tankers destination is.

        All Russian tankers should be seized and either directed to Ukraine or the profits from the sale should be taken.

            You think its strange to seize the assets of a country you are at war with?

            It seems you don’t know much about war.

            I don’t see you protesting Russia selling wheat it has stolen from Ukraine so I’m going to assume you’re a kremlin troll.
