[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was a Dark-Fleet ship, not a Venezuelan tanker.[/quote]

Venezuela has ZERO lawful claim here.  None.[/quote]

That is false. Trump and republicans seizing a tanking is lawless. [/quote]

This ship has been sanctioned since way back during the Biden administration.  It’s only now that we’re actually doing something about it.  Of course it’s legal to seize a sanctioned ship participating in illegal activities. But do continue displaying your ignorance.[/quote]

Sleep Joe Biden? Surely you jest. So you are blaming this f up and lawless action on Biden now? At what point do you actually take responsibility for your actions? [/quote]

Sorry, what are you babbling about now?  The ship has been sanctioned since Biden's administration.  There has been no lawless action - quite the contrary, in fact.  Glad this ship can no longer illegally transport oil to terrorists.  Interesting that you're not.[/quote]

DP What’s actually astonishing is your ability to suspend disbelief and believe literally anything our government tells us at this point. Like, “illegally transport oil to terrorists” … zero confidence in the ability of State to tell the truth, so why on earth would I believe them here?[/quote]

I’ve been worried about China and their cronies using Venezuela for years.

Why?

Because China has amassed a big foothold in the Caribbean, including land, buildings, businesses, and ports. They are directly across from Venezuela in the ABC islands, directly across from Florida in the Bahamas, and in several islands in between.

It’s all fun and games when terror ground and the countries that bankroll them are far away in the Middle East, but it’s quite different when they are so close and have been shipping things for many years. Oil is one thing: a commodity that fuels terror groups. But it’s not far fetched to wonder what weapons have been shipped. Or people. [/quote]

Funny enough, these are the exact same thoughts China, Russia and the like have when we set up shop on their doorsteps and start funding "freedom" fighters. [/quote]

Right. And for good reason.

But it’s never bothered us since we have always been on top.

ICYMI: we are slip-sliding down on the Chutes and Ladders game of world power/world protector, and I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone thought this would be a good idea.

I mean, anyone who took a history class or watched a related movie should have some inkling about the fall of Rome. Short version: when they got fat, lazy, and greedy, they were dethroned. The hungry who are motivated to climb will undoubtedly have an edge.

Why we let China establish a foothold in the Caribbean (not to mention all the real estate they’ve acquired in the actual USA) is beyond me. It’s impossible to put the genie back in the bottle. [/quote]
