La Russia ha creato una “flotta ombra” di petroliere che aggirano le sanzioni statunitensi sulle esportazioni di petrolio. Il Dipartimento del Tesoro propone di perseguitarla, mentre la Casa Bianca sta bloccando l’iniziativa. Un altro punto in una lista di ritardi e mezze misure che dimostrano la debolezza e l’inefficacia dell’attuale amministrazione.

Does anyone think that the opposing administration would be less weak and more effective against Putin?
With a post title like this, you are doing Russia’s work. Putin thanks you.
Please do not be a useful idiot.
It is just politics. Biden does not want gas prices to increase during an election year. If Agent Orange is elected, it will hurt Ukraine even more.
You’re an idiot if you think going after this oil will increase fuel prices.
This isn’t FUEL…..ITS OIL.
which Russia will still sell, but under the imposed sanctions ( aka at lower prices)
Lower crude price should equal lower fuel costs.
It doesn’t remove it from the market, it just will be sold cheaply
For those that are saying this will help get trump elected, why not instead use it as a reason to pressure Biden to be better? I never get these people who feel like Biden is untouchable because trump is worse. Make it a demand for both candidates. The Biden admin since the beginning has not been amazing, but they have been Ok. I would prefer amazing, but I will take OK over horrendous.
That being said, Biden must do better than Ok.
Just create modern “shadow pirates” to fight the “shadow fleet” of tankers.
The current adminstration is neither weak, nor ineffectual. Biden and his staff are and have done the most they can while working to maintain alliances and keeping the outskirts of the Western alliances, places like Hungary, India for example, from straight up abandoning Western alliances and forging closer ties with the other side. Biden has done more to combat non-Democratic regimes than probably any American President ever has, which is still far short of what is needed but its still a fact.
This is hard truth, posted by a former mod of this sub, and it’s getting downvoted because most people on this sub live in an alternate reality.
Let the downvoting begin.
This is ridiculous. The Biden Administration is a HUGE supporter of Ukraine. MAGAs are huge supporters of Putin. Stop posting Russian PR here – even if it comes from the NYT.
I keep waiting for these tankers to get hijacked lol
Downvote this crap Russian propaganda!

Apparently OP would like to see Drumph in office. Who’s side?
Oh yeah. A different admin would be so much better for Ukraine s/
Biden seems to be weaker than first anticipated!
I hope after this election somehow another party that isn’t just dog shit comes out to fight the two party failure we have in America… I truly believe BOTH parties failed us miserably but I will still vote blue because one side is seriously more fucked up that the other… And now All I got left is hopium….
They NYT really hates this administration. Crazy.
Blockiad of rusaia
Confiscate the ships + cargo and give them to Ukraine, send the crew to the ICC. Investigate the money, and sanction all those profiting from the efforts.
The alternative is an admin that will pull all support from ukraine and lift Russian sanctions. I wish we were doing more, but the alternative is vastly worse
Week and ineffective is better than malicious and dangerous
Go Joe. Biden gonna Biden.
Yep Biden’s moron administration is messed up!
Time for UK to assemble a modern corsair fleet like in the good old days of the British Empire and got after this shadow fleet 🙂
Can Ukraine issue letters of marque?
