The utter hilarity of this is too much, almost along the same lines as “The Front Fell Off”.....frakin hilarious!

Blatant act of state sponsored piracy. We’ve invaded countries in the region for a lot less

RE: Caught entirely off guard, the girls began throwing the cookies at the attacking Venezuelan unit of about 40 soldiers. With roughly equal numbers, the scouts tipped several of the tables over on their sides to form a type of shield. After several minutes, the Venezuelan army retreated to a safe distance and may have crossed back into Venezuela.

Well, this is a testament to the still existing HUMANE spirit of the Venezuelan Military. If it were the Iranian army, these girls would be machine gunned to death and some captured and sent to prison ( maybe sold to the slave traders ).

A video of the sunken Venezuelan war vessel should be available on YouTube any minute now.

No coverage of this act of piracy in the mainstream media. None at all.

I was stumbling on a few things with this story.... icebreaker, cruise ship, Germans and in the vicinity of Venezuela but in international waters. Here is the website of the operator... apparently they do tours to both the Arctic and Antarctica but also South and Central America. https://www.oneoceanexpeditions.com/vessels/vessel-rcgs-resolute

Maybe weld even more reinforcement plates over the top of those scrapes and gouges?

The cruise ship is sort of like Trump in a way. He who attacks ends up, well, sunk.

I could keep reading this story too. Wow.

The Venezuelans are messing with the most powerful forces on the entire ocean - the maritime insurance companies. "Oh, well, if they're going to ram merchants, from now on we won't pay off if you go there." That, my FRiends, is a genuine and serious threat.

Can the owner's of the RCGS Resolute take Venezuela to say the Hague for damages to the ship. As a former autobody (25 plus yr's) guy, I don't think you can buff out those scratches. Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Arse Off. P.S. Last part of my career, I worked in the ship yards as a welder for 5 yr's. Now I just work on (weld) what ever I can hustle up.

Plus the RCGS Resolute is equipped with a Bulbous Bow. That's what the symbol that look's like a backward letter "C" with an accent mark at the top of the letter means.

The other symbol, look's like the letter "X" with a circle means the ship has "Bow Thruster(s.)" A Maneuvering thruster is a transversal propulsion device built into, or mounted to, either the bow or stern, of a ship or boat to make it more maneuverable, while Docking.

Your showing your age by mentioning that Earl The Pearl (a.k.a. Earl Scheib) will paint your car for $99.99. Good thing you didn’t mention the $69.99 price, you’d be really showing your age.

"They thought the ship was stealing salt water."

Not just any salt water, we're talking "Venezuelan navy-salt water." Extremely rare, almost extinct.
