[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any fellow American who supports the idea of interdiction and piracy of foreign assets in territorial waters or even the open sea is squarely part of the problem with our empire.[/quote]

This is exactly what we did in Venezuela and it worked.  So I’m all for interdiction of any Iranian ships unless and until an agreement is reached. [/quote]
What do you think we’ve been doing in Venezuela and how do you think it’d been working? [/quote]

You can't be serious.  The U.S. blockade of sanctioned ships going to and from Venezuela put enormous economic pressure on the Maduro (now Delcy Rodriguez) regime.  It's an excellent tactic to use against terrorist regimes - and of course, many of those sanctioned shadow tankers doing business with Venezuela were smuggling oil for Iranian terrorist proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas.  I hope we do exactly the same thing in the Strait.[/quote]

The US paid Maduro’s lieutenants 50 million dollars to betray him and the operation was very close to going tits up.

So you think Venezuela was not the drug kingpin Trump claims they were but instead smuggled Iranian oil for Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon ?  :lol:   :lol:  :lol: !  Wow you should work for Trump. Needs more people like you with your out of ten box spitballing.[/quote]

Are you really this dense?  Of course Venezuela plays a huge role in drug trafficking, primarily cocaine.  How can you not know this?

Venezuela also operates a shadow fleet of ships carrying illicit oil shipments between Iran, Russia, China, and Venezuela.  Both things are absolutely true, which is why the US was (and is) seizing sanctioned ships.

I’m honestly embarrassed for you that this has to be explained over and over.
