Now officials telling us that they began planning for an operation to actually seize it.
NOW THAT IT'S IN EUROPEAN WATERS, AND IN FACT THAT DID OCCUR THIS MORNING, ONE OF THOSE OFFICIALS SAYING THE U.S.
SEIZED THE BELAWAN, THAT IT WAS A MISSION THAT WAS LED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY IN SUPPORT OR WITH SUPPORT OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY, THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
And the Department of Homeland Security actually has the lead.
Now, guys, what that pretty much means is that there was Coast Guard involvement.
That's what we've seen in these other seizures.
Remember, the Coast Guard falls under DHS.
And then at this point, there are now U.S.
law enforcement officials who are on board of that ship, Joe.
Yeah, we have no indication of that at this point, but that's one of the questions we're asking.
I mean, this has literally just been unfolding in the last hour or two that this interdiction and seizure occurred.
Remember, the past several ships that the U.S.
has done this since they began this, I mean, essentially what is a naval blockade or oil blockade from Venezuela, they have been done without any kind of real incident.
The Coast Guard who are used for this
are these elite forces who are very highly trained, especially trained for these sort of dangerous boardings like this.
So this is literally what they're trained to do.
Yeah, sure. So, I mean, there's really two sides to this argument. There are the people who believe that this is just part of negotiating, that you make some sacrifices or some changes during negotiation, whether it's a show of good faith or getting the other side to the table. And then there are other people who clearly think this is nothing but capitulation to Russia.
So the two sides broken down. What this cyber command decision or order from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth does is it is pausing all offensive cyber operations against Russia and all offensive information operations against Russia. But the key here is we don't know how long this is supposed to last.
There are some officials who say this is while the US is actively involved in trying to be this mediator between Russia and Ukraine to try to end the war. And there are others who say, look, we don't have any sense of what the timeline could be and when this actually could end.
Now, there are critics or people who are concerned that this is this is a time where the United States should be stepping up. They're gathering on Russia, particularly when it comes to information operations. But at this point, it appears that all of that is halted. And the timeline, again, is really unclear for that.
