Trump orders blockade on oil tankers in and out of Venezuela

1. Yep and his post is more deranged than what that webpage says. He is now claiming the oil Venezuela has, is the property of the US and Maduro stole it from the US.

   So he is making it pretty damn clear he plans to invade Venezuela to steal their oil. Using the exact same damn playbook as bush, but being more obvious about the true goal.

2. >In his post, Trump said Venezuela was “completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America”.

   Gunboat diplomacy never went away. But with Trump, any pretense that it did go away evaporates. .

3. >Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela,” he added.

   >His remarks came a week after the US seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.

   His remarks also come at the same time that Attorney General Pam Bondi was told they “must make files in the investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format by 19th December, as per the Epstein Transparency Act signed into law by President Donald Trump last month”.

   Another day, another red herring.

   He’s *really* nervous about the Epstein files isn’t he.

4. Maduro didn’t give his casus belli by his numerous provocations, so now he is going to force a war.

   And I don’t doubt that when the propaganda machine kicks in, a good chunk of the American population will support, and even be enthusiastic about this war. After the inevitable disaster and humanitarian crisis they will pretend that no one could have predicted it, and that they never supported it.

5. I think I can guess what his announcement will be on Wednesday. Seems the “president of peace” is nearly ready to invade. I wonder what happened to stopping the endless wars he was so keen on?

6. Since the way the press is covering this doesn’t carry the right tone – this is straight up an act of war. The western press will remember this little fact if/when PRC sets a naval blockade on Taiwan

7. I wonder how much cognitive dissonance maga voters experiencing right now. How does this even benefit America? We’re doing the same dumb shit as Russia.

   This administration doesn’t give a fuck about the needs of the people.

8. For all the might America projects, it does terribly when fighting for oil against peoples much poorer than themselves. There is something insane when an imperial machine like America declares war on people in sandles

9. Where the fuck is congress on this? Why are people not pointing to them standing by as the president oversteps their authority to, not only murder random people, but to declare war? Anyone who follows these orders needs to stand trial and the UN needs to step in, this apathy is going to blowback in the face of everyone

10. The narrative online is skewed.

    President Maduro is the head of state-sponsored terrorism.

    The people of Venezuela are the real victims.

    Be educated.

11. He REALLY doesn’t want those Epstein files to get out on Friday. Hence why he is also addressing the nation tomorrow during prime time. Doesn’t help that his chief of staff also came out today stating he’s all over the files. The government shutdown, the war with Venezuela, all because him and his fellow pals were raping children.

12. Yep, gladly Brazil is once again considering rearming both conventionally and now with nukes as well. We can’t afford to be assaulted in the future by a rogue US. I also believe that letting Venezuela fending for themselves, even tho Maduro isn’t liked, isn’t a good precedent. We should definitely start to take a more aggressive approach when dealing with the US in our frontiers.

    You can dislike Putin as much as you want to, but this wouldn’t pass with Russia.

13. Don’t you just love it when your elites casually start another conflict in a shit hole that will likely result in hundreds of your countrymen to die for a resource your country already has?

    I do, that’s for sure.

14. Because of the crime of using oil to generate budget for your country, oh, I’m sorry, “regime”(it’s inherently evil because it is), lmao.

    Funny shit, if I was a burger I’d stop pretending that I care about justice long ago, at least online.
