Okay. Sinking Russian tankers is probably too provocative. So just destroy the loading terminals.


Or, put US military personnel at the terminals to board and inspect (and seize) before they even leave.

Russia has nuclear weapons. We can't risk defying them and starting a nuclear war.

The United States is carrying out an operation to seize the Russian-flagged Venezuela-linked oil tanker Marinera, formerly known as Bella 1, officials tells Reuters.

We have ways of disabling the ship or even boarding the ship. Bring in oceangoing tugboats and bring that ship to a halt.

Will the Russians start a hot war with us (shoot weapons) over this? That would be a bad mistake on their part.
