Game on!

OK, first off there is a really tight lid on reporting about this.  Other than FSoa State controlled MSM outlets, none of  the foreign media reports have been available since late last night.  From the little I have been able to glean, the "International Sanctions" the FSoA aren't international at all, they are unilateral.   Basically nobody is supposed to sell Oil to anyone the FSoA flags as an "enemy".  Clearly, the goal is to cut off energy supply to every country that doesn't kowtow to the FSoA.  This includes just about every 3rd world country with a Socialist goobermint.

Also apparent is that this strategy has been in place for weeks before Maduro was kidnapped.  By taking control of the shipping lanes, the FSoA is trying to make sure it controls the global energy trade.

Clearly longer term neither the Ruskies nor the Chinese can accept this situation.  The question is how they will protect future ships, since I doubt they will try now to board this one.  The ship likely has no oil, so there is some chance they might elect to scuttle the ship.

Looks like WWII has begun on the high seas.  We're looking at what amounts to a global embargo of the Oil trade.  To retaliate, the Ruskies might "sanction" FSoA LNG ships bound for Rotterdam.

Stay Tuned.

It is sad that the majority of people will hear 'illicit oil' and immediately reifiy it as a real thing.

QuoteBasically nobody is supposed to sell Oil to anyone the FSoA flags as an "enemy".

Just like an immigrant who does not have blond hair and a pussy and who is instead dark skinned becomes defined as illegal.  Even if they come from an eastern European country, dark skin would make them illegal.  But blonde hair and a pussy under the right circumstances can get an immigrant an Einstein visa no matter where they might be from.  Even one of Trump's "Shithole Countries" would qualify.  To be sure a thick accent with staunch determination to not speak fluent English would help if they actually were from a shithole country.  A thick accent would certainly cancel out being from the shithole country.

Illegal now means 'that which assholes do not like'.  It fits with America's new authoritarian zeitgeist very well.






America no longer is sipping Fascism Lite. 

Now America gulps the Real Thing.






And anyone dark or who does not like it gets deported.

A little more info now dribbling out.

María Corina Machado's Lengthy Criminal Record

María Corina Machado participated in signing the 2002 coup decree against Hugo Chávez.  Leading the 2014 protests to oust Nicolás Maduro.  And supporting Juan Guaidó's attempt to overthrow Maduro.

Peace prize my ass.    Her net worth (approx) is $8-10 million (as of 2025)

But poverty describes Venezuela. 

Social Group	Monthly Income (USD)	Primary Income Sources
The "Rich" (Top 10%)	$550 - $600+	Business owners, exports, remote tech.
Middle Tier	$150 - $250	Private sector staff, specialized trade.
The "Poor"	$50 - $100	Informal labor, small-scale vending.
Extreme Poverty	$10 - $30	Public employees, retirees, state aid.

These are the people from whom Trump steals oil.

'What the hell do we do with this issue': Mexico confronts Trump's Cuba pressure

As the White House ramps up pressure on Havana, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum is weighing how far to bend without triggering retaliation from Washington.

First VZ, now Cuba & Mexico.  Obviously, he wats the whole hemisphere.  After all, Hitler didn't stop with the Sudetanland either.  Now the question is: If Mex does go ahead and send oil to Cuba despite the threat of Tariffs, will he invade?  How will J6P react to that?
