  1. Whoopsie daisy! How long do you figure until Trump returns the tanker and gives an apologetic blowie?

  2. Well there’s a turn,,,guess it will get given back in short order, can’t have Russians and billionaires getting mad…?

  3. it doesn’t make much sense 
    oil tanker? whose crude it is Russian? Russia exports to Venezuela that is richest oil reserves country? 
    or from Venezuela to somewhere else, but wait are there sanctions on Venezuela?

    help me  understand

    Literal false flag operation. It is the American tradition when you’re trying to start a war, after all.

    Seize them!
    Is better than sinking them. What happens after that? Will the vessel be returned to the ship owner? What about the oil?

  6. >The government of Guyana — which borders Venezuela — said in a statement Wednesday the ship was falsely flying the Guyanese flag, despite not being registered in the South American country

    What kind of intel did they have prior to seizing this ship

  7. Well fuck… I don’t know how to feel other than it’s going to be funny if they retaliate against our leadership over it.

    Now find a way to work in china, already got iran and russia, north korea keeps to themselves too much to be involved in this but surely the US wants to implicate as many of its enemies as possible
