Russia vs NATO Jets Over Baltic Sea: Attempted Tanker Boarding!

 

Tanker Tango & Jet Jitters: Baltic Sea’s Newest Spectator Sport

Move over, Formula 1—this week’s real high-speed chase played out above the Gulf of Finland, featuring NATO’s MiG-29s tailing Russia’s Su-35S like fighter-jet paparazzi. 

The object of desire? 

The shadow-fleet tanker Jaguar, which Estonia tried—and hilariously failed—to board using patrol boats, a helicopter, and a drone that the crew nicknamed “that little flying nosy neighbor.”

Scene of the Spy-acle

Estonian forces, armed with stern radio warnings (“Papa 6732 – anchor now or face penalties!”), tried herding Jaguar, flagged in Gabon but flagged suspicious, toward Bixby. 

The tanker’s bridge crew responded in Russian: “Nice try, clowns!” and in Hindi: “Is that our drone?” 

Meanwhile, NATO scrambled Polish MiGs faster than you can say “restricted airspace,” with a Russian Su-35 swooping in to shield the rogue oil hauler.

Putin’s No-Show Peace Party

All this drama unfolded as Vladimir Putin was busy ghosting peace talks in Istanbul—because nothing says “serious diplomat” like ditching chairs at the UN. 

Observers noted the irony: Russia flexes fighter jets but can’t muster the courage to show up face-to-face with Ukraine.

How It Ended (Spoiler: With a Docking Slip)

After all the aerial acrobatics, the Jaguar limped calmly to Gogland Island, whispered “thanks for the aircover,” and sailed on toward Primorsk. 

Estonia’s Foreign Minister demanded “tougher, faster sanctions,” while Russia’s Chargé in Tallinn got the diplomatic version of a breakup text: “We need space.”

Lesson of the Day

When your oil tanker doubles as a sanctioned sanctions-evader, don’t be surprised if your antics spark a dogfight worthy of a blockbuster. 

And if you’re in charge of peace talks—maybe don’t bail at the last minute!

    Please Help Find These Forgotten Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year!

      MY MOST IMPORTANT STORY  Dozens of Forgotten Little Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year! Welcome to the Sunshine State , where the palm trees sway, the alligators lurk, and the legislative process makes Kafka look like a life coach!  Florida House Bill HB21 . Not just a compensation bill but possibly a 20 million dollar "Stay out of Jail Free" card for some folks. This is a bill that does some good—but also trips over its own shoelaces, falls down a staircase, and lands on a historical oversight so big, it might as well have its own zip code! An oversight that overlooks what I consider to be its most vulnerable victims! The Setup: Justice with a Catch HB21 was enacted on July 1, 2024 to compensate victims of abuse from two male juvenile detention facilities located in Florida, Dozier and Okeechobee.  It says, “Hey, survivors of abuse between 1940 and 1975, here’s some compensation for the horrific things you endured!” Sounds good, right?

    We Are Temporarily Halting Further Publication....

    Do to financial issues and lack of funding we are temporarily halting further publication. After a full year of publication, we have reached a bridge that we are unable to cross at this time. We may periodically publish an article but at this time, full-time publication is no longer feasible. Thank you to all the readers who followed us throughout our journey and we wish you the very best. Hopefully we will see our way through this rough patch and will resume publication in the near future. Thanks again! Robert B.

    Postal Police Stuck Behind ‘Keep Out’ Signs While Mailmen Face Muggers: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!!

    As crime against letter carriers surges, one would think that America’s armed, uniformed Postal Police might be hitting the streets to protect our mail.  Instead, they’re still glued to their post office entrances like sentries guarding Fort Frownmore.  Why?  Because since 2020, the Postmaster General decreed they must “protect postal property” only—meaning, they currently serve as glorified lobby bouncers rather than actual roaming guardians of the mailstream. “ They’re robbing letter carriers, they’re sticking a gun in a letter carrier’s face and they’re demanding arrow keys, ” laments Frank Albergo , president of the National Postal Police Union and a Postal Police Officer himself.  An "arrow key" in the context of the Post Office is a specialized, universal key that postal workers use to access various locked mail receptacles, including collection boxes, apartment mailboxes, and cluster boxes. Albergo isn’t exaggerating—research shows over 100 physical assaul...
