Trump says US has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela

[Tbird19482]

Do Navy personnel know the difference between "naval" and their "navel"?


Well, at least your navel is.

I never said I could spell did I?

It comes from Mexico. You must be disappointed.

It comes through Mexico. It comes from Venezuela and Columbia by boat, then across the border by mule. Trump is stopping the Narco Terrorist boats - which has you outraged.

The Imperial Empire is increasingly lawless.

For all of you dummies out there this is not good.

Why is it not good? Was that tanker headed to China? Is your Emperor Xi upset?

Classical example of projection.

Nope. Looking at this more, the ship wasn't flagged, the USCG / military boarded what was essentially a "rogue" merchant ship in international waters and then took it as a prize. Think this was a "pirate" ship and the US executed a "search warrant" on it.

Source?

It said armed conflict. Can't you read?

The US wasn't at war in November 1941. Yet, they boarded and took as a prize by force, a German merchant ship at sea in the Caribbean.

"Short of war". They had a bounty on the ship.

...the FBI, Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had collaborated to execute a seizure warrant for the tanker

A U.S. official identified the tanker as the Skipper, which was previously known as the M/T Adisa, the AP reported. The Adisa was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury in 2022 for allegedly facilitating oil trades for Iran-backed Hezbollah and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force.

What we know about US seizure of oil tanker off Venezuela

The US seizure of a crude oil ship is the latest in a series of escalations in the Trump administration's pressure campaign on Venezuela.

What we know about The Skipper, the oil tanker seized by the U.S. near Venezuela

The U.S. seized a 20-year-old oil tanker called The Skipper off the coast of Venezuela on Wednesday, three sources told CBS News. Here's what we know about the boat and the operation.

So, this seizure was nothing new. The US, and other countries, have been doing stuff like this because Venezuela is in violation of internationally imposed sanctions on their export of oil, particularly to embargoed nations like Iran or N. Korea.

The US had one on The Skipper, the ship involved in this seizure. It was well-known to be involved in illegal shipping of oil to sanctioned nations like Iran and N. Korea.

From your link: Prize law refers to the laws and regulations governing capture at sea during an armed conflict. In maritime law, the prize means a vessel, cargo, or other property captured in an armed conflict.

Can't you read? Being angry doesn't help you.

Redefinition fallacy. No armed conflict is required, LeftNut.

Commerce raiding is a form of naval warfare used to destroy or disrupt logistics of the enemy on the open sea by attacking its merchant shipping, rather than engaging its combatants or enforcing a blockade against them.

Serious question... What are you doing?

He is posting in JPP, LeftNut.

trump's claim is that the oil in the tanker is fair game because it's oil from countries we have economic sanctions against.

This would be a perfect event in which to have a president who can actually be believed when he says something.

But we don't.

We can't believe a word that comes out of his fat, puckered, lie-puking mouth

Bulverism. TDS. Argument of the Stone fallacy. Denying history won't work, Sybil.

I you think I am committing Stolen valor turn me in.
And make sure they get your name so when it is all done I can sue your ass.
