That sound you hear is moonbats baying at the moon in apoplexy
Attorney General Pam Bondi released video footage Wednesday of U.S. forces seizing a Venezuelan crude oil tanker, a bold move last ordered more than a decade ago.
Video footage showed FBI and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents, along with U.S. Coast Guard members, with support from the Department of War, executing a precise seizure of the tanker, which was being used to move sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran.
Armed personnel in tactical gear rappelled from a helicopter above the vessel off the Venezuelan coast Wednesday, landing on the deck of the ship and entering with weapons drawn.
“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 in a statement on X.
“This seizure, completed off the coast of Venezuela, was conducted safely and securely—and our investigation alongside the Department of Homeland Security to prevent the transport of sanctioned oil continues.”
So, of course we get Dipshitus Liberalus
Well, yes, blowing that ship up would have created an ecological disaster for a period of time, and the sanctions kinda do not authorize boom boom. Oil is a legal commodity, drugs are not. Blowing up a few drug running boats is not that big of a deal, and really, US authorities capture plenty of drug running boats.
And, then you have Democrat Adam Smith getting all hot and bothered by this.
Wow !! 800000 barrel tanker . Such a big number
Teach Venezuela exports about 1 million barrels per DAY. 80% goes to China which gets about 10% of its oil from Venezuela
The stupid Senator from the great state of Virginia asked, “So, they can seize an oil tanker, but not a drug boat?” Yup! Oil tankers are slow and far less maneuverable than the high-speed boats the drug smugglers use. You’d think a Senator from a state with a seacoast and a major boating history would know that.
So, why would Venezuela need to ship oil to a major oil producing nation like Iran?
Teach is highly excited by this tanker seizure.
Last month ? Last month it was SEAL teams ready to go against the manufacturers of fentanyl the Mexican drug cartels
WMDs WMDs WMDs the narco terrorists are trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction!!!
Should the USA return to trying to be the police of the world?
Trump should be spending his time trying to fix the economy not playing around with the theater to distract from the shitty economy
They oil was probably on its way to China which gets a significant amount 20% from Venezuela.
China is already backing off its pledge to buydoy
