There are hundreds of shadow fleet tankers in the world. Why are they so bothered about this one. Seems like a bit of overkill.

I think they will take it and put it on eBay. They bring good money if full.

But it's just one civilian ship and it doesn't even have any oil on board. Using special forces and ten helicopters seems a bit OTT.

No point in taking it now, he is running the country.

Corrected for you...

No point in taking it now, he is ruining the country.

Along with a world order that has largely kept the threat of WWIII at bay for 80 years!

Apparently these stateless oil tankers carry spare paint so they can fly whichever flag is convenient. If oil rich strategically important nations are so important why hasn't he announced the take over of most middle east countries none of which are less of a military threat than Greenland.?

Is this the same one that repelled the coastguard previously and is now being escorted by a Russian fleet? Seems it was a sanction buster being used to ferry black market Russian Oil.

Seems the escort didn't intervene in the end.
