The truth emerges. Oil tanker seized outside Venezuela.

It's also about the oil and of course telling Russia and China to **** off. He is daring Maduro to use Chinese and Russian made military hardwares against the US. Let's see if those hardwares are as good as they claimed.

Corruption alone ensures that whatever China or Russia sells to others is lower quality.

Most Western nations realize that a reputation for quality is essential to future sales as is customer service. Japan showed us all this when they built a great reputation.

Perhaps China will get their eventually, but with big ticket items, you know people are on the take and they will decrease quality for numbers. Customer service if the weapons don't work as advertised? Sorry, that Amazon User no longer has an account.

The seizure off the Venezuelan coast is a major escalation of U.S. aggression toward the South American nation.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that U.S. forces had seized a “very large” oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, a major move against the South American country.

“As you probably know, we have just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela, a large tanker, very large, the largest one ever seized actually,” Trump said at an event at the White House.

The White House did not provide additional details about the vessel. A person familiar with the matter, grantedATrump anonymity to discuss the sensitive seizure, said the ship was en route to Cuba. The oil, the person said, would be sold by state firm Cubametales to Asian energy brokers.

'THIS IS ABSOLUTE;Y THE WRONG THING TOI DO. Seizing a tanker on the High Seas is an act of war. someone need to stop this before it get worse.

The president of peace strikes again!

Maduro has to leave Venezuela. He was not duly elected by the people.

It's none of our business where another country decides to sell their products.

Actually, since idiots support long term foreign entanglements, it is our business. If the oil is going to an adversary that could be used against those we have legal obligations to, it in our interest to hinder such things. Thank your globalist and 'it takes a village' idiots for that.

Unfortunately, we are legally bound by stupid treaties like NATO. It goes beyond just idiots. Thus we concern ourselves with wasteful things that do not benefit this country.

There are no treaties that forces us to interject into the business of other countries.

So we should have ignored Ukraine? Did you complain when Obama was aiding terrorists in Libya? Your selective outrage is the real problem here.

Absolutely. I've said so from the beginning of the mess. Look it up.

Did you complain when Obama was aiding terrorists in Libya? Your selective outrage is the real problem here.
