I’d actually put good money on this not happening. Russia isn’t really geared up to deliver oil like that they’re all about the pipelines.
Also whatever tankers they do send will have to get past if fleet of pissed off European fleets.
Remember countries like Estonia went through some relatively severe economic hardship in order to sanction Russia, and then the United States comes along and does a deal with Russia to save themselves from a war that they started. Perhaps maintaining good relations with the United States is no longer worth it? I could totally see an oil tanker getting bordered.
I have a recent newborn and I keep thinking that when he’s like 15 or so and starting to learn about world politics he’s not going to believe me that the United States was want to major world player. He is going to think I am lying to him. It would be like your parents trying to tell you that Africa was once a United country and had the largest military on the planet. Looking at it now it wouldn’t be believable.
Alternatively, you could blockade the tanker about to offload 300,000 tons of Russian diesel in Wilmington NC

I’m praying USA picks a fight with Ukraine…it will lose so badly actually, that it will finally collapse.
EDIT: USA will lose, not Ukraine.

Do you mean for the US to invade Ukraine?
