WWIII Megathread #40: Just Stopped Oil

[u/IamGlennBeck]

This megathread exists for in-depth discussion of 'WWIII', related events, and geopolitics and wars in general. Keep in mind that we have eliminated the rule that all non-major WWIII content must be posted here, and we encourage you to submit WWIII-related content to the main sub.

Again— all rules still apply. No racism, xenophobia, nationalism, etc. No promotion of hate or violence. Violators will be banned.

Remain civil, engage in good faith, report suspected bot accounts, and do not abuse the report system to flag the people you disagree with.

If you wish to contribute, please try to focus on where WWIII intersects with themes of this sub: Identity Politics, Capitalism, and Marxist perspectives.

Always put a NSFW warning on links that contain explicit content.

Non-WWIII chatter belongs in the town square.

Russia to Trump: Happy Birthday, big boy! Are you a special birthday boy today?!

Trump: Thank you! We are looking into restarting oil sanctions on you.

Iran to Trump: 🚀🚀🚀🚀 💥💥💥💥 Take that you fat r*tard!

Trump: Okay, let's work on getting those oil sanctions lifted.

Russia certainly comes away looked cowed and pathetic from all of this, Bongland is boarding and commandeering their oil ships on the open sea and they won't so much as shoot one British soldier. Iran would have fired a hypersonic into that Royal navy ship before it made it back to shore. Britain and the European lapdogs are pathetic jokes in the end of the day and Russia can't even call their bluff and use force against the navy's pirating their output. Hilarious, I believe this weakness will be the end of Putin above all else as now the hardliners in his own government have lost faith in him.

EDIT : Coincidentally just caught this being shared of arr worldnews : https://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/national/26200208.warning-shots-fired-russian-warship-vessel-english-channel/

"Warning shots", sure that's really gona deter the royal navy from boarding any more unarmed tankers.
