Turkey Squeezes Putin Dirty-Oil Tanker SCF Vankor out Dardanelles Straight: Heads Toward Suez

Heads up to Ukraine and Israel!

At exactly14:33:14 UTC on October 19th after what was a 3-day bout of selective maritime shipping constipation on the part of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey just squeezed Putin’s dirty-oil tanker Aleksey Kosygin (AKA SCF Vankor) out of its descending maritime colon that is the Dardanelles Straight where the tanker now speeds at 13 knots toward the Suez Canal for destinations unknown.

We’ve been closely tracking this Russian oil tanker along with Putin’s super yacht Titan which has been at Dubai under UAE safe harbor since October last year after it had hooked up with the Aleksey Kosygin tanker on October 1st of last year in the Red Sea.

I just reported here and on RussiLeaks in the last week the relationship between Putin and his steel oligarch buddy Alexander Abramov’s super yacht Titan, which I dubbed Putin’s Floating Locus of Evil, and how UAE and Turkish companies have just been slapped with US sanctions for violating the US/UE $60/barrel Russian oil price cap. That article was titled:  Tanker Yachter Steeler Spy.

Heads up President Zelenskyy

I also pointed out that now that Putin has been attacking Ukraine’s grain and energy supply chains, Ukraine has more than enough justification to take out the Russian shipping that funds Putin’s Ukraine war machine, wherever it may roam, irrespective of whether Elon Musk chooses to allow or deny Ukraine access to his StarLink satellite network for aerial and naval drone command and control in the Black Sea or elsewhere.  So, heads up on this new naval play by Putin with his dirty oil tanker as it heads in international waters back to the Gulf, to India, to North Korea, or China.

And Heads up Prime Minister Netanyahu

And now that our ally Israel is under brutal attack by Putin’s proxies Iran and Syria and through them his sub-proxies Hamas and Hezbollah, these Russian naval assets feeding Putin’s  war machine should come under serious Mossad and Israeli Naval and commando scrutiny.

Prime Minister Netanyahu, I pray that you lift up your eyes from the tunnel vision of your own personal self-interests with your anti-democratic attempts to stay on as President for life by stacking your supreme court.  You seem to be channeling Trump who himself channels Putin.

Focus instead on defending your people from the existential threat coming not just from Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and Syria.  See your Kremlin pal for the evil wizard behind the curtain that he obviously is as he continues to pull the Iranian and Syrian levers, who in turn pull the levers of Hamas and Hezbollah.  Not to mention that Putin also pulls the levers of ISIS, Al-Queda, and the Taliban.

There’s a rot in Mossad and elsewhere in your government.  This happened on your watch.  You may be the rot at the top: I don’t know.  It’s time for you to lead, and I mean REALLY lead, or follow, or get out of the way. 

Whether you’ve realized it yet or not, Prime Minister Netanyahu, you share with America and Ukraine a common enemy.  It’s the man that sits at the apex of our generation’s axis of evil. 

An evil genius named Putin.
