Of course it's about the oil.  Did anybody really believe they would send a fucking Aircraft Carrier Group to interdict a few drugs?

Next question:  Can the CIA successfully install a puppet goobermint to replace Maduro?

The Trump administration's real goal in Venezuela

Here we go!  This is an ACT OF WAR!

Besides the obvious further escalation in SA with ground troops, consider the other international implications.  How will the Chinese respond to this?  How about they seize a tanker bound for Taiwan?  Or Japan?  How about the Ruskies?  Maybe blockade the tankers offloading NG in Rotterdam?

Trumpolini is definitely out to start WWIII.  Great excuse for cancelling elections.  He's got to do it now, because otherwise he loses CONgress in 2026 and gets impeached.

TSHHTF.

US releases video it says shows troops seizing tanker off Venezuela

A 45-second clip, posted by US Attorney General Pam Bondi on X, appears to show the ship's seizure as it sails off the coast of Venezuela.

US seizes oil tanker near Venezuela, Trump says

I think it is about this :

And all the people who want to steal the oil have to do is make a donation to the ballroom.  That will never be built.

Trumpolini kills 2 birds with 1 theft!  He starves Venezuela of money while he starves Cuba of energy and pockets the money selling off the confiscated oil! What a great racket!  Admirals get  a Bonus in their paychecks and they're happy too! 😀

Trump says the U.S. has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela

It is as it ever was.

On Monday, Trump suggested oil seized from Venezuela could be treated as a US asset. "Maybe we will sell it, maybe we will keep it," he told reporters. "Maybe we'll use it in the strategic reserves. We're keeping the ships also."

The remarks echo earlier statements from Trump where he has repeatedly called for the US to seize oil from other countries, indicating a broader belief that US power entitles it to control or extract resources from other states.

Trumpolini's Oil Policy:  It's not STEALING, we're just asking them to pay what it costs to go to WAR to take the oil! LOL.

Not to dwell on a point, but think just ONE step further on this.  If it's OK for the FSoA to do this, it's OK for the Chinese to do it also.  Do you think the ChiComs will just sit by while we cruise the Marines to countries with small militaries and park a few special forces around their oil fields to take the oil?  COME ON!

If I was the Canucks, the MINUTE Trumpolini offloads a brigade on a Vz beach I would announce signing a Oil Trade Protection Treaty with Beijing where they promise to assist any nation threatened by Imperialist Oil Theft by the OUTLAW Goobermint of the FSoA.  If the UN doesn't condemn this that organization is done for.

Of course this sort of theft was exactly what Smedley Butler described, but no Amerikan Potus ever explicitly said it was FSoA Oil Policy.  If he follows thru with it, the Chinese and Russians will have no choice but to put a stop to it.

WWIII is 1 Stupid Move away.

Trump's claims to Venezuelan oil are part of broader 'resource imperialism', experts say
