  • US Seizes THIRD Venez Oil Tanker

    From c186282@c186282@nnada.net to talk.politics.misc,alt.politics,alt.politics.usa,alt.fan.rush-limbaugh on Mon Dec 22 00:46:13 2025

    This is moving along quickly. Looks like
    most EVERY tanker leaving Venezuela is
    likely to get boarded/seized now. This
    represents a LOT of money, a WHOLE LOT.

    It's money that will NOT be going to Maduro.

    SHOULD we pressure out Maduro ? Opinions vary.
    He IS a shit ... but then lots of govt leaders
    are shits and we kiss SOME of their asses.

    Maduro is a rare case where the "international
    community" agrees he's illegit - KNOWS he stole
    the presidency Big Time.

    But hey, if nobody ever DOES anything about such
    situations, what does "legit" MEAN anyway ? Put
    up or SHUT UP.

    Well, they only need is to create enough "uncertainty"
    so that no skippers or buyers will dare take the risk.

    My concern is that, and they DO have some good reasons,
    the Chinese will get involved to some degree. IF they
    have properly flagged ships to 'escort' some of those
    tankers out of the area then what DO we do ? Any mil
    op near the ships means a risk of mistake, casualties.
    China might WANT this as a provocation and downrange
    deterrent.

    Now ... WHAT do do with that tanker that refuses to
    stop ? Try an outright air assault like with the
    others ? Maduro or the cartels MAY have put some
    rough characters on board. A few little shoulder-
    fired missiles and Trump will be attending a lot
    MORE repatriation ceremonies. In short, this could
    be a deliberate PR trap.

    Send a low-yield torpedo into the ships propellers ?
    COULD work. COULD sink or burn the thing too. Gigantic
    oil slick regardless, also bad PR.

    This
    represents a LOT of money, a WHOLE LOT.
