@coachstas: On August 12, 2026, Vladimir Putin stood aboard a Russian warship near Sakhalin and accused the European Union of piracy. His target: new EU rules letting member states seize and sell cargo from Russian tankers evading oil sanctions. Putin called it banditry, plain and simple, and issued a warning that carried real weight — if Europe follows through, Russia will hit back, and not necessarily where the seizures happen. Anywhere, he said, including the Pacific. The threat lands amid an escalating standoff over Russia's shadow fleet, the aging tankers Moscow uses to move sanctioned oil around the world. European nations have already begun boarding and detaining these vessels, and Brussels' new mechanism goes a step further by allowing the seized goods to be sold outright. Putin's response turns a legal and economic dispute into something sharper: a direct threat of retaliation on the open seas, aimed squarely at European shipping.

If you know, over the past 4 years, what's been happening? Putin warns what will happen if they do something, and he will retaliate, and every time NATO have gone that step above the red line, Russia has retaliated every single time, and he's always given a warning, he's doing the same now, and if you think that put him won't A promise he will, and if any nato ship attacks or try to steal any of its oil vessels, i'm pretty sure those Nato ships will be sunk
