In Reply to: Venezuelan Oil Tanker seizure. posted by SagoBob on December 29, 2025 at 13:14:37
"sanctioned" tankers. Therefore this was a legal enforcement. If trump had positioned the seizure as such then he can t claim he will get the oil. The oil belongs to whomever has a settlement pending.
But of course drumpf and whiskyP need to feel m,echo so they present it as a show of U.S. masculinity.
If it had been laid out as such then no uproar. I say take them all to sett!e the judgements but do so at a rate so as not to plunge Ven. into a deeper financial shytspot they are already in.
I've had no issues with forcing Maduro out as he did steal an election. But their internal politics is not our business. I would think most pubs would agree as that reeks of us being the world's police. That's a main plank of pub platform.
Take the tankers, give it to Exxon but charge them a fee for the Navy's efforts. Putting the shadow fleet out of business helps elsewhere in so many way.
