No flag
No insurance
No problem!
Rustbucket zombie-tanker ARCUSAT/TAVIAN/TIA will enter Baltics in ~3 days.
This will be her third fetch of Russian oil since October.
No flag, no state, no identity and no registry -> she is basically lawless.
Some would even argue states have obligations here.

Posted this a couple months ago. I don't think it's changed. This is the reality that neither the US not Danish governments seem to be talking about much because it's more entertaining to talk about crazy military action following Maduro's capture:
(1) OK. There's a lot of debate about whether or not Greenland can or can't be bought by the US. Here are thoughts and estimates (as a Professor of international finance):
Reuters reports that Republicans in the U.S. Congress have prepared a bill to purchase Greenland following Donald Trump's inauguration.
They must be joking. I hope so.

US must have made a deal with Venezuelan military.
Would explain the rather easy capture of Maduro (maybe military had already taken him into costody).
And would explain how Trump thinks US will be able to “run” Venezuela

To Prez, this remains one of best community notes of all time. To prove we can’t be beaten this idiot tweets a picture of 5 of our warships, 4 of which had been sunk. The remaining is probably now out of action.
