The truth emerges. Oil tanker seized outside Venezuela.

[Fort Fun Indiana]

As much as Democrats hate Oil, why aren’t they giving Venezuela shit about fossil fuels?

What would that look like?

 

[Lesh]

For what? Because they won't allow us to control their natural resources.

Iraq 2.0

 

[candycorn]

It’s not about oil either….

What’s it about?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

“As you probably know we’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela,” Trump said. “Large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized, actually.”

The world laughs at our idiot President.

 

[Zincwarrior]

So if you support the Nobel peace prize winner Machado, does that make you a terrorist supporter?

We just committed an act of piracy you slack jawed yokel.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

This is an example of Trump's leadership ability:

The president did not offer any detailed explanation for the move, saying only that it was seized “for very good reason.” Asked what would happen to the oil the tanker was transporting, Trump said, “We keep it, I guess.” - CNN

Our president is a moron who cant make thoughts and then make them into words.

Nah.
They do that because Muslims are so repressed that they think blowing themselves up will give them 72 virgins.

You missed the point.

 

[Lesh]

Muslims have nothing to do with Trump getting us into another oil war

It appears they may be trying to skirt sanctions on oil to certain nations and the U.S is enforcing these sanctions.

By what authority? Because the US says so?

Okay. But now we are treading into acts of war.

How Venezuela uses crypto to sell oil—and what the US should do about it

As US sanctions on Venezuela have intensified, the Maduro regime has grown increasingly interested in leveraging digital assets to facilitate oil transactions.

I’ll bet less than 10% of that oil revenue went to the people.

For emptying their prisons and flooding our country with illegals.

Reparations, *****.

You have it backwards.

 

[pknopp]

It was a sanctioned tanker, dipshit. It sails under whatever flag is necessary to get it to ports in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, or Russia, all of whom we have strict oil sanctions against.

Sanctions are an act of war. We are the most violent nation on Earth.

 

[pknopp]

So we are nos the same as Iran and Houthis pirates?

It's always bad for them but patriotic for us.

 

[pknopp]

It is an act of war. And we can be sure none of this is Trump's idea.

Yep, he has fallen in line just like those before him.
