Navy veteran and military journalist Natalie Oliverio joins Bloomberg This Weekend and says reported food, sanitation and communication problems aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln risk undermining sailors’ readiness.

Oliverio explains to hosts Joe Mathieu and Carol Massar that families and lawmakers are demanding answers as the carrier has spent more than 240 consecutive days at sea, while the Pentagon disputes reports portraying conditions aboard the ship as dire.

#interview #ukraine #vance - US THREATENS Zelenskyy — Vance PUSHES Ukraine to END tanker strikes ‪@WorldatStake24‬: War & Politics 24

14 August 2026

Professor Scott Lucas is the founder and editor of the analytical news outlet EA WorldView https://eaworldview.com/

TV hosts Daniel Tkiie ‪@WorldatStake24‬ and Sofia Nazarenko and Scott Lucas, professor of international politics, discussed the duration of Russia's war against Ukraine. US Vice President JD Vance asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to halt attacks on oil tankers linked to the Caspian Pipeline Consortium at Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk.

The pipeline carries mainly Kazakh oil with companies linked to U.S. investment firms. Ukraine's compliance was partly influenced by President Zelensky's hopes of obtaining another interceptor for Patriot systems or these licenses to produce Patriot missiles.

What is your reaction to this, and could you provide us with wider context of Ukraine's campaign against Russia's oil tankers and this demand from JD Vance's surprise demand, because JD Vance usually hesitated to actively play any kind of role in Ukraine negotiations?
