US seizes oil tanker Venezuela

[Anonymous]

Every day, it gets worse and worse and worse.
I feel I should to move back to my parents country of origin -- Sweden, where they have a rational government. But I'm American. I want to live here where my family and friends live, where I work, where I have a life. But my government? It is run by traitors, criminals, horrible people who have no honor, morals, no dignity, nothing that adheres them to the community of human beings who care for and about each other.
I don't want to live in the world this government--lead by a malignant narcissist who has no soul, no conscience, no real mind or religion or morality -- in short, a monster--is creating now.
This is so blatantly illegal, but who can stop it? We have the greatest, most powerful military in the world, which is controlled by a madman.
I miss Joe Biden's government. It felt safe, sane. We are in hell now.

Yes I saw a video on Twitter showing the “tanker” being filled up with liquid fentanyl.

You do know about AI, right?

No Trump just used seal team 6 to steal an oil tanker. This is just robbery.

I envy you, I have only lived in Sweden for periods before I had to leave. I am not a citizen. I always said I’d go there if things got bad here. Now they are bad here. It’s horrible to sit and watch this unfolding.
I’m sorry you are watching this. But go to a good place. I can’t, but you can.

To take over the Venezuelan oil industry

Exxon wants that tasty $10 a barrel oil. This is because the world has reached peak oil demand and over the next 5 years oil will fall to under $35 a barrel.

oil and distract from the broader mess Trump is creating as well as epstein

What good will one tanker of oil do us?

Release the Epstein files

This.
What was the purpose of seizing it?

Epstein files.
Video of 2 September strike.

To stop Russia from selling oil to finance its war on Ukraine.

Why are we getting in the middle of someone else’s war? It’s bad enough handing over billions to Israel and Ukraine but performing acts of war? That’s crossing the line.

Thank you MAGA

Because Trump did it, you're automatically going to take the other country's side against the US?

You know what that's called, right?

The world needs to move on from US hegemony. It is clear the US is a destabilizing force across the planet due to bringing back all sorts of infectious diseases that were well under control, to destabilizing the Middle East and now South America. The world should ditch the USD. Can't keep starting wars and destabilize the planet if you're broke. US population is way too illiterate and uneducated to be running a global superpower.

I have no doubt that this is the main topic of conversation among our western allies. We're cooked. It's going to take a pretty long time for this to become apparent to the larger US population, but our long, slow decline continues apace.

Wait, wait, wait.

I just heard an expert on CNN say that this was legal.

During the Biden Administration there was a seizure warrant issued for this ship. It was used to ship Iranian oil to skirt sanctions.

It’s a legal, but convenient seizure.

Yep. Completely legal.

Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed in an X post that the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations and the Coast Guard “executed a seizure warrant” on the vessel, which she said was used to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran.

“For multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned by the United States due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations,” Bondi wrote.

Skipper is registered to Triton Navigation, a corporation registered in the Marshall Islands, according to the Treasury Department’s “Specially Designated Nationals” list. Treasury in 2022 called Triton one of a number of “shipping companies critical to the oil smuggling network” supporting Iran’s Hezbollah.

It's just astounding how there are four pages condemning this action when it was a completely legal action against a sanctioned, illicit oil tanker.

Get a grip and try reading actual facts.

No, you nitwit. This was a legal seizure of a sanctioned ship.

I thought Trump did not believe in warrants and rule of law? Why would he start now? Also everything Biden did was illegal according to Trump. So it is an illegal seizure.
