The truth emerges. Oil tanker seized outside Venezuela.

[Ringo]

The US steals a Venezuelan oil tanker in an act of piracy, while the EU is planning how to sideline member states that oppose legalising the theft of Russia's sovereign fund.
All rules, principles and stability tend to go out the window when states face systemic decline.

Perhaps you can help Zinc Warrior out.

Which president placed a sanction on the tanker?

 

[j-mac]

What’s it about?

IMHO, it’s three fold…

1. Disrupt Maduro’s drug trade

2. Remove Maduro from his illegitimate power.

3. Support a democratically elected government that’s willing to work with us on trade and rare earth.

ALL politicians betray the American people. How is TRUMP so much worse than the others and do you not think that SOME of what he is doing is actually GOOD for America?

What is actually wrong with you? Or are you just a closet Communist?

Lol. Where have I stated Trump is so much worse? You uniparty dupes are all the same.

Every potus does some good, even Don. They all do unconstitutional evil shit too.

What’s wrong with you? Are you a Fascist or just a right wing statist who thinks you must love the state no matter what?

 

[Zincwarrior]

Ok but which president placed the sanction on the tanker?

Irrelevant. putting a name on a list does not change the Constitution.

Needs Congressional approval. Those are acts of war.

Should be easy to get through Congress.

A majority of Americans would oppose a U.S. military invasion

And I would be one of them

Which is one of the reasons why trump wont do it

I think Trump will do almost anything to distract from the release of the Epstein files including commit acts of war in the Western Hemisphere:

U.S. seizes oil tanker off Venezuela; Palestinian baby dies of exposure as winter storms ravage Gaza

"Venezuela denounced the move as 'international piracy' in a statement. 'In these circumstances, the true reasons for the prolonged aggression against Venezuela have finally been revealed,' the Venezuelan government’s statement said.

"'It is not migration. It is not drug trafficking. It is not democracy. It is not human rights. It has always been about our natural wealth, our oil, our energy, the resources that belong exclusively to the Venezuelan people.'"

Imho, Trump is not a cause but rather a symptom and symbol of the decline and final stages of the American empire; the decay has been decades in the making, a result of a slow-motion corporate coup that's hollowed out the working class, destroyed public services, and fatally wounded US democracy.

 

[gipper]

Also not what I said you drooling ass sucker.

I think all the time. You really ought to try it … someday.

It might assist you to look at a world map. Then, connect the dots.

You idiot.

It is exactly what you said blowhard.

STFU and get informed before posting.

 

[gipper]

I think you need a Snickers bar, you're too angry.

Go have a good cry. You’ll feel better.

Then, get informed before posting.

 

[gipper]

Donald Trump is the US government. If you're saying he likes Mexico being controlled by the drug cartels, that has to be the most idiotic statement I've heard this week.

So you admit you know nothing of the long history of drug trafficking by our government.

I’m not surprised.

Go blow Don again.

Irrelevant. putting a name on a list does not change the Constitution.

You said Trump has not declared war against Venezuela.

Trump is enforcing the sanction against the tanker placed by Biden administration.

Where does Congress come into the picture and what piracy are you talking about?

How does Trump declare war when no US military fired a shot against Venezuela?

 

[Zincwarrior]

You said Trump has not declared war against Venezuela.

Yes because Trump CAN'T.

Trump is enforcing the sanction against the tanker placed by Biden administration.

Its an act of war no matter who puts the sanction on. Strangely he is not seizing all those freighters off Bosphorus or Iran. Why is that?

Where does Congress come into the picture and what piracy are you talking about?

Article I, Section 8: explicitly grants Congress the power "To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water".

 

[Zincwarrior]

How does Trump declare war when no US military fired a shot against Venezuela?

TRUMP CAN'T DECLARE WAR.

Only Congress can do that. Why doesn't Trump do that? It should be easy, and thats how its supposed to work.

As far as trump is concerned the Epstein files are a big nothing berger

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

As far as trump is concerned the Epstein files are a big nothing berger

Now you just have to convince Trump of that, heh heh

 

[Rawley]

Not the question.

Trump never declared war against Venezuela. The US military has not fired a single shot against Venezuela.

Which president placed a sanction on the tanker?

His TDS prevents him from answering.

 

[Rawley]

TRUMP CAN'T DECLARE WAR.

Only Congress can do that. Why doesn't Trump do that? It should be easy, and thats how its supposed to work.

Why on God's green earth would he declare war on Venezuela?

Trump has assembled a top notch team of redactors. Maybe the best of all time.
