      So we’re adding piracy to the list of charges then?

      As if war crimes, sexual assault, racketeering, bribery, falsifying business records, retention of classified documents & election interference weren’t enough. I’m sure I’m missing a few.

      Arrrrrrrrr..

      Let’s hear more about „other things are happening“ …

      „We’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela, large tanker, very large, largest one ever, actually, and other things are happening,“ Trump said.

      The oil was probably headed to China to be refined and sold. So what does China think of this piracy.

      Well, he did say in the past that the US should’ve „taken“ Iraq’s oil, and he did [order the US military to illegally pillage Syrian oil](https://www.politico.com/news/2019/11/13/trump-troops-syria-oil-pentagon-070567) with the intent of [sending in US companies to extract it](https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/27/trump-wants-to-make-a-deal-with-exxon-or-others-to-tap-syrian-oil.html) during his first term. Not exactly surprising.

      > „We’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela, a large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized, actually,“ the US president said.

      Truly the words of an incredibly stable and mentally healthy man, yes sir.

      This latest action gives more credence to the possibility of the US conducting land strikes in Venezuela.

      > Officials also told the Reuters news agency that the operation was led by the US Coast Guard. They did not name the tanker, what flag the vessel sailed under, or exactly where the incident took place.

      > UK maritime risk management group Vanguard said that the tanker Skipper – which the US sanctioned for alleged involvement in Iranian oil trading under the name Adisa – was believed to have been seized.

      Everyone pay attention to Flightradar24. My money is on seeing a good amount of Iranian/Chinese/Russian planes that took off from military bases in those countries landing in Venezuelan military bases.

      it seems we’re trying really hard to trigger a war.

      shooting boats, military flights over their airspace, now piracy.

      maybe just drive in front of speed boat and claim an attack which requires a shock and awe response.

      Ya’ll remember when Germany invaded Poland and the world spent the best part of a decade kicking Germany’s dick into their arse until they shat foreskin, then the world rounded up the germans in charge and the journalists that helped out and sentenced them all to death?

      History loves to repeat itself.

      So we invade them for oil but drugs and possible terrorism being the reason… got it 👍

    19. Black_Mamba_FTW on

      Add pirate to the list of crimes…don’t think this will help the peace prize grift

      Drumbeat to another war for oil. The ‚drug boats‘ were just the trial balloon.

      When they were talking about Fentanyl and Canada I was suggesting the U.S. were trying to justify strangling us financially and opening the door to military action in the long term and many people were suggesting I’m crazy. Ain’t so crazy anymore huh?

      It sounds like that tanker was displaying concerning symptoms of authoritarianism. Fortunately, the US Navy has successfully administered a 2-million-barrel dose of Freedom.

      Someone needs to actually step up and physically stop him. If *they* (them, Trump, his regime, ICE) want to normalize violence, play ball.

      Saying anything otherwise is devaluing lives lost and families torn apart.

      They don’t give a shit about anything any more. How they look. Nothing. And that’s terrifying.

      He’s trying to so hard to provoke something. F-18s violated Venezuelan airspace for 40 minutes yesterday with their transponders on (you can track it in Flightaware LOL). Now seizing an oil tanker. He’s going to keep escalating. Best thing Venezuela can do is not take the bait.

      Once Trump is gone (not soon enough) I will know the shame that Germans had post Hitler/WW2. I voted against him but I’m just one person and I can’t help but feel shame to what my country has so blatantly become, and at the cowardice of everyone not rallying against this tyrannical self absorbed grifter.

      Given the connection between Venezuelas oil production and the Russian war machine I’m a LOT less mad about this than I am the bombing of random fishermen

      >largest one ever seized actually

      This prick turns everything into a dick measuring contest, I cannot stand this fucking man.

      As someone from Denmark, I could careless, Maduro is a literal dictator who is friendly to Russia

    37. Blochamolesauce on

      Jesus Christ… our gov’t has been taken over by Nazis who use the navy to commit piracy… never thought I’d use that sentence in my lifetime…

      The United States stealing natural resources from other countries is nothing new.

    40. Islandboi4life on

      this makes it crystal clear why the US government is bombing Venezuela ships and seizing the oil tankers now.
