Russian linked shadow fleet tanker Mersin (IMO 9428683) currently sinking off West Africa.
Fog of war, but seems it was attacked, probably by a USV, in past few days.
Third picture unladen for reference so you can see how low in the water it now is

The Western world’s geosecurity system, founded on NATO, Five Eyes and other institutions proven effective over decades, is likely now doomed under Trump. The conduct of an amoral and mercantilist US foreign/security policy by his unelected cronies Witkoff and Kushner is incompatible with democracy.

Indeed, no Russian ally is needed at a NATO meeting.

If you want Pete Hegseth to be able to kill anybody he wants anytime he wants while serving up “trust me bro” as justification with zero oversight from Congress, who gives the Trump admin a blank check to do whatever it wants, then vote for the cowardly Republican enablers.

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.
