  1. I look forward to a time when the US is no longer the self-appointed policeman of the the world. All indicators are that America is on the sharp decline and their future is not looking good at all. Furthermore, their isolationist ambitions serves us all well, as it should hasten their decline and make the world a lot safer place.

  2. This is humiliating for the US navy, it can stop an oil tanker? Perhaps the people on the tanker have rifles and are shooting at those helicopters

  3. The U.S. didn't "rule" Panama after removing Noriega in 1989-1990; rather, they deposed him, restored the elected government (Guillermo Endara), and then gradually withdrew military presence. Once Chevron rebuilds its refineries the USA approved leader (Maria Corina Machado?) will have enough money to fix the problems.

  4. When the Houthis do it, the media calls it attacks and hijackings. When America does it, it's a blockade and seizure.

  5. Narcoterrorism is a made up term. No one sells oil to fund DRUG CARTEL. That’s not how the drug cartel works.

  6. We need more American Fast Food restaurants to open across many more countries. More money, more customer service equals more peace. Oh… we can get that super sized for you.

  7. You know these ships were sanctioned under Biden also so this is nothing new that Trump created. Look it up.

  8. I love seeing Euro Leftists whining about this. Look up Biden making a big deal about slapping sanctions on Putin, then find out Shitler didn't do a damn thing. If I was King, all that oil would refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve that Joey drained for China.
