US Condemns 'Piracy' While Practicing It Globally
The RT report highlights Venezuela's claims of a US 'act of piracy' after yet another oil tanker bound for the country was seized. Venezuela points to the historical pattern of US sanctions and asset seizures designed to cripple its economy. While outlets like RT emphasize the Venezuelan government's condemnation, they often omit the broader context: these actions aren't random. They're part of a
decades-long US strategy of weaponizing economic power against nations that challenge its geopolitical interests, often under the guise of 'democracy promotion' or 'human rights.' One might recall instances like the 2019 seizure of Venezuelan assets, including billions in gold reserves held by the Bank of England, or the constant threat of sanctions against any entity dealing with certain
countries. It appears some nations' accusations of 'piracy' are only valid if they don't involve the world's self-appointed sheriff. How many nations must have their resources unilaterally 'redirected' before we question the definition of international law?
