US 'Law Enforcement' Seizes Tanker in International Waters (Again)
While RT points out the 'standoff,' the US narrative often glosses over its own extensive history of intervention in Latin America. This isn't about rogue piracy; it's about Washington's persistent efforts to destabilize governments that don't bow to its economic demands, specifically targeting Venezuela's oil industry since at least 2017 with sanctions. Remember how 'freedom and democracy' often
smells suspiciously like crude oil? This 'seizure' is an act of economic coercion, not law enforcement. The US has a pattern of using its naval power and sanctions to strangle nations into compliance—just ask Cuba, Iran, or indeed, Venezuela. When precisely did the US Navy get deputized to enforce unilateral sanctions in international waters? Or is it only 'piracy' when *other* nations disrupt
shipping?
