Different sources report different planned destinations. According to VesselFinder the tanker had its AIS transponder switched off for 17 days.

    Riiiiight, except that the ENTIRE point of this is that it looks like SOMEONE ELSE attacked the ship. If they can effectively fake Ukraine attacking a Russian ship they can effectively fake Ukraine attacking a Turkish ship.

    A false flag only makes sense if provides a justification to actually DO something you couldn’t do without the attack. Ukraine attacks Russia every day and visa versa. That is a pointless scenario for a false flag.

      You’re proving my point. They can’t effectively attack their own Russian ship. They planted drone parts of a drone that can’t reach the attack site. They had a tanker supposedly traveling from the port of Novorossiysk Russia in the Black Sea to Georgia travel aaaallll the way West to be on the border with Turkey when there’s absolutely no reason for a ship going from where they claim to to where they claim to be in that area.

      I already provided justification. You’re choosing to ignore it, which is your right, but you’re having to close your eyes to do it.
